| has gloss | eng: Depsides are phenolic compounds composed of two or more monocyclic aromatic units linked by an ester bond. They are most often found in lichens, but have also been isolated from higher plants, including species of the Ericaceae, Lamiaceae, Papaveraceae and Myrtaceae. Depsides have antibiotic, anti-HIV, antioxidant, and anti-proliferative activity. As inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis and leukotriene B4 biosynthesis, depsides are potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. References |
