Abstract
Covering: 2013 to 2023In an era where antimicrobial resistance severely threatens our ability to treat infections, the discovery of new drugs that belong to different chemical classes and/or bear original modes of action is urgently needed. In this case, diterpenoids comprise a productive field with a proven track record in providing new anti-infectives to tackle bacterial infections and malaria. This review highlights the potential of both naturally occurring and semi-synthetic bi- and tricyclic diterpenoids to become leads in search of new drugs to treat infections caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoan parasites. The literature from the last decade (2013-2023) is covered, focusing on naturally occurring and semi-synthetic bicyclic (labdanes and labdane-type) and tricyclic (all classes) diterpenoids, detailing their relevant biological activities in the context of infection, which are explained through structure-activity relationships.
期刊介绍：
Natural Product Reports (NPR) serves as a pivotal critical review journal propelling advancements in all facets of natural products research, encompassing isolation, structural and stereochemical determination, biosynthesis, biological activity, and synthesis.
With a broad scope, NPR extends its influence into the wider bioinorganic, bioorganic, and chemical biology communities. Covering areas such as enzymology, nucleic acids, genetics, chemical ecology, carbohydrates, primary and secondary metabolism, and analytical techniques, the journal provides insightful articles focusing on key developments shaping the field, rather than offering exhaustive overviews of all results.
NPR encourages authors to infuse their perspectives on developments, trends, and future directions, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas within the natural products research community.
