Terpenophenolics Terpenophenolics are compounds that are part terpenes, part
natural phenols. Plants in the genus
Humulus and
Cannabis produce terpenophenolic metabolites, such as
humulone and
tetrahydrocannabinol respectively. Other examples of terpenophenolics from plants include
bakuchiol and
lapachol. The antibiotic
marinone produced by marine
bacteria is another example. Terpenophenolics can also be isolated from animals. The terpenophenolics
methoxyconidiol,
epiconicol and
didehydroconicol, isolated from the
ascidian Aplidium aff. densum, show antiproliferative activity. == References ==
