  • Title: Structures and Bioactive Properties of Myrtucommulones and Related Acylphloroglucinols from Myrtaceae.
    Author: Nicoletti R, Salvatore MM, Ferranti P, Andolfi A.
    Journal: Molecules; 2018 Dec 19; 23(12):. PubMed ID: 30572614.
    Abstract:
    Myrtaceae are a group of plants that include a number of renowned species used in ethnomedicine in many areas worldwide. Their valuable therapeutic properties have stimulated a fruitful research activity addressed to the identification of the bioactive components of their extracts yielding a great diversity of terpenes; polyphenols; and other exclusive products. Among the latter, starting with the discovery of myrtucommulone A from myrtle (Myrtus communis), a series of structurally-related acylphloroglucinol compounds have been characterized from several species that represent the basic active principles to be considered in view of possible drug development. Aspects concerning chemical and biological properties of these products are reviewed in the present paper.
