Abstract

This review covers the chemistry and biological aspects of goniothalamin-related styryl lactones isolated from natural sources. This family of secondary metabolites has been reported to display diverse uses in folk medicine, but only a limited number of these compounds have been throughly investigated regarding their biological profile. Herein, we cover the goniothalamin-related styryl lactones having a C6-C3-C4 framework which appeared in the literature for the first time in the period 2000-2017, and the reports on the synthesis, biological activity and mechanism of action which were published from 2007-2017.
