Abstract

This review focuses on reports regarding the isolation and/or synthesis of naturally occurring dibenzofurans with demonstrated anti-allergy, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial and treatment of skin conditions. It is not a comprehensive discussion of all such compounds, but is instead intended to illustrate the range of biological activity possessed by such compounds, the variety of sources from which they can be isolated, and the various synthetic methods by which they can be prepared.
