Xanthones in Hypericum: Synthesis and Biological Activities

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioactive Heterocycles III

Part of the book series: Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry ((TOPICS,volume 9))

Abstract

There has been an increasing interest in the genus Hypericum, because it is a source of a variety of compounds with different biological activities. Xanthones are one of these compounds within Hypericum species. Recently, growing attention has been given to these heterocyclic compounds containing oxygen because of their many interesting pharmacological and biological properties, such as monoamine oxidase inhibition and antioxidant, antifungal, cytotoxic, and hepatoprotective activities.
