Plenary Conference 2: Aurones: from Phytochemistry to Human Health Care
Keywords:
Aurones, Natural Products, Specialized Metabolites, Human health, BiodiversityAbstract
Aurones (aurum = gold) are a group of specialized metabolites from the large group of flavonoids, with promising biological potential [1]. They are natural products of mixed biosynthesis, with an initiator derived from the shikimic pathway (C6-C3), for example, caffeoyl-CoA, and three extender units of acetyl-CoA
