Diverse prenylated C6-C3 derivatives from the stems and branches of Illicium ternstroemioides A. C. Smith with anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities

Total Synthesis of (±)-Simonsol C

“…Illicium species, prevalent in southern China, primarily produce sesquiterpenes and neolignans as their main secondary metabolites . These compounds exhibit a wide array of bioactivities, such as analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, in addition to phlegm reduction, cough relief, blood lipid lowering, and liver protection . Among these, simonsol C, along with fargenone A/B, were isolated from Illicium simonsii by the Wang group.…”
