Azaphilones: Their Role in Various Biological Activities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Azaphilones which can be isolated from various natural resources like fungi and plant have range of potent biological activities that can be exploited against various diseases. Structure of numerous azaphilones has already been described. The present review talks about activities of azaphilones like anti-cancerous, anti-HIV, anti-nematicidal, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal which have been extensively explored and efforts are going on to use azaphilones in drug formulation. This review is an effort to shift focus from complex synthetic products to natural products which are known to have to less toxicity and have less side effect for the treatment of various diseases.

Synthesis of the azaphilones using copper-mediated enantioselective oxidative dearomatization.
An approach to the asymmetric synthesis of the azaphilone natural products is reported involving copper-mediated enantioselective oxidative dearomatization of o-alkynylbenzaldehydes. The approach was successfully applied to the synthesis of (-)-S-15183a and several unnatural azaphilones.
متن کاملNew cytotoxic azaphilones from Monascus purpureus-fermented rice (red yeast rice).
Using a cell-based cytotoxicity assay three new cytotoxic azaphilones, including two stereoisomers and designated monapurones A-C (1-3), were isolated from the extract of Monascus purpureus-fermented rice (red yeast rice). Their structures were elucidated by detailed interpretation of spectroscopic and chemical data. The relative configurations were assigned on the basis of analysis of NOE data...
