Eleven new thio-avarol derivatives (3− 13) were synthesized. Their antimicrobial, brine
shrimp lethality, and free-radical scavenging activities and acetylcholinesterase inhibition …

The anti-inflammatory activity of avarol and avarone, sesquiterpenoid derivatives from the
Mediterranean sponge Dysidea avara, was investigated. Both compounds potently inhibited …

The chemical analysis of the sponge Dysidea avara afforded the known sesquiterpene
quinone avarone, along with its reduced form avarol. To further explore the role of the …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses marine sesquiterpene/quinones. Although
marine sesquiterpene/quinones have predominantly been isolated from sponges, several …

Prenylated hydroquinones and related metabolites have been isolated from marine
organisms with a terpenoid portion that ranges from one to nine isoprene units. Triprenyl …

In the present work we studied the antinociceptive and antiedematogenic effects of a
quinone fraction (QF) isolated from the heartwood of Auxemma oncocalyx Taub. The major …

Formation of the C11− C1′ bond through application of Barton's radical decarboxylation
and quinone addition is the cornerstone of a new convergent and concise synthesis of the …

This work extends in vitro screening of antimicrobial activity of the sesquiterpene
hydroquinone avarol, a main secondary metabolite of the Mediterranean sponge species …

Context: An ethnobotanical survey of Cordia rothii Roem. & Schult.(Boraginaceae) reveals it
as a medicinal plant. Objective: Antimicrobial and antioxidant potential evaluation and …

A concise total synthesis of dysidavarone A possessing the new “dysidavarane” carbon
skeleton has been accomplished by a convergent strategy, involving a stereoselective …
