Stilbenoid
Class of chemical compounds / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stilbenoids are hydroxylated derivatives of stilbene. They have a C6–C2–C6 structure. In biochemical terms, they belong to the family of phenylpropanoids and share most of their biosynthesis pathway with chalcones.[1][2] Most stilbenoids are produced by plants,[2][3] and the only known exception is the antimicrobial stilbenoid drug tapinarof which is biosynthesized by the Gram-negative bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens.[4][5][6]
