Terpenoids with lactone moieties have been indicated to possess high bioactivity. Certain
terpenoid lactones exist in nature, in plants and animals, but they can also be obtained by …

The study of chemicals extracted from natural sources should be encouraged due to the
significant number of cancer deaths each year and the financial burden imposed by this …

The editors have been alerted to concerns about the integrity of the images shown in
Figures 4, 5 and 6, which allegedly contain suspected image duplications, as detailed here …

Scabertopin (SCP), an abundant germacrane-type sesquiterpene lactone (SLC) isolated
from Elephantopus scaber, was selected as a reference compound for modification and …

Three novel enantiomeric pairs of bromolactones possesing a 2, 5-dimethylphenyl
substituent at the β-position of the lactone ring have been synthesized from corresponding …

Starting from 1-acetyl-1-cyclohexene, three enantiomeric pairs (ee≥ 99%) of bicyclic δ-halo-
γ-lactones with cyclohexane ring were obtained in five-step synthesis. The key …

The β-aryl-δ-halo-γ-lactones are known for their antiproliferative activity towards numerous
cancer cell lines. The aim of this study was to obtain in the biotransformation process new β …
