Recent years have witnessed a considerable renewed interest for the uncommon flavonoid class of aurones. The characterization of two major biosynthetic machineries involved in their biosynthesis in flowers has encouraged the revival of phytochemical studies and identification of original structures, a process started almost seventy-five years ago. This review draws up an exhaustive map of natural occurrences of aurones their biosynthetic pathways and roles, with the aim to link their original structural properties among flavonoids to their place in evolution and the selective advantages they bring to some of the most advanced taxa in the plant kingdom.
近年来,人们对不常见的黄酮类化合物奥洛酮类重新产生了浓厚的兴趣。参与其在花中生物合成的两种主要生物合成机制的表征,推动了植物化学研究的复兴以及原始结构的鉴定,这一过程始于近75年前。本综述绘制了奥洛酮类天然存在情况、其生物合成途径及作用的详尽图谱,旨在将它们在黄酮类化合物中的原始结构特性与其在进化中的地位以及它们给植物界一些最先进的类群带来的选择优势联系起来。
