Benzo-fused ten-membered ring meroterpenoids: sources, chemical diversity, biological activities, and biosynthesis

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Meroterpenoids, a class of hybrid natural products derived from both terpenoid and non-terpenoid biosynthetic pathways, serve as a prolific source of drug leads, because of their structural complexity and extensive bioactivities. Meroterpenoids have provided many clinical drugs or promising leads, such as mycophenolic acid (an immunosuppressant), […]
