Acanthus ilicifolius alkaloid A (4-hydroxy-2(3H)benzoxazolone, HBOA) is a naturally occurring compound that has been separated from Acanthus ilicifolius. Previous studies have reported the beneficial effects of HBOA on HSC-T6 cells. This study was undertaken in order to synthesize HBOA and two of its derivatives, specifically, 4-acetoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone (AcO-BOA) and 3-acetyl-4-acetoxy-2-ben...
