• , a few examples of homoadamantane derivatives showing pronounced biological activity are known. More than 40 homoadamantane polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols have been isolated from Hypericum plants [54][55][56]. Among them, hyperacmosins A and B showed a protective effect in paracetamol-induced

By comparison of the NMR spectra of the synthesized compounds with those of the natural products, a relative stereochemistry is suggested, especially that of the ketal carbon.

Chinesins I (3) and II (4) are acylphloroglucinol derivatives which possess

The finding that structurally simpler, natural, acylphloroglucinol derivatives also showed antiproliferative effects against endothelial cells with inhibitory effects in a tube-formation assay on Matrigel catalyzed the search for simple acylphloroglucinols with
