Abstract
Covering: up to 2026
The Stachybotrys fungi have proven to be rich sources of triprenyl meroterpenoids. In addition to natural products typified by the relatively well known K76, stachybotrin, kampanol and stachyflin are the bisabosquals. The first four bisabosquals were discovered in 2001 and found to have a unique molecular structure displaying an all cis benzopyran-fused benzofuran core. Over the past two decades, this family has been extended, while their novel structure has stimulated efforts focused on their chemical synthesis. Herein, we provide a highlight, covering the isolation, biosynthesis and bioactivities of the bisabosquals and seco-bisabosquals along with studies focused on their total syntheses.
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.
