Structures, Occurrences and Biosynthesis of 11,12,13-Tri- nor -Sesquiterpenes, an Intriguing Class of Bioactive Metabolites

The compounds 11,12,13-tri- -sesquiterpenes are degraded sesquiterpenoids which have lost the C unit of isopropyl or isopropenyl at C-7 of the sesquiterpene skeleton. The irregular C-backbone originates from the oxidative removal of a C side chain from the C sesquiterpene, which arises from farnesyl...

Description
Summary:The compounds 11,12,13-tri- -sesquiterpenes are degraded sesquiterpenoids which have lost the C unit of isopropyl or isopropenyl at C-7 of the sesquiterpene skeleton. The irregular C-backbone originates from the oxidative removal of a C side chain from the C sesquiterpene, which arises from farnesyl diphosphate (FDP). The C -framework is generated, generally, in all families of sesquiterpenes by oxidative cleavage of the C substituent, with the simultaneous introduction of a double bond. This article reviews the isolation, biosynthesis and biological activity of this special class of sesquiterpenes, the 11,12,13-tri- sesquiterpenes.
