Recently, there has been a renewed interest in the natural-products-inspired drugs. Quebrachitol (QCT) is one of naturally occurring optically active cyclitols that has now received considerable attention. Until the last decade, it came to be a starting point for the lead discovery. In this review, we had a discussion on the basic research of QCT, including its source, structure, properties, and the recent advances on its application. The biological activities and QCT-inspired leads that are potentially effective for treating human diseases were also discussed.
最近,人们对受天然产物启发的药物重新产生了兴趣。奎布拉醇(QCT)是一种天然存在的旋光性环多元醇,目前已受到广泛关注。直到过去十年,它才成为先导化合物发现的起点。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了QCT的基础研究,包括其来源、结构、性质以及其应用的最新进展。还讨论了其生物活性以及受QCT启发的可能对治疗人类疾病有效的先导化合物。
