Abstract

New natural peroxides that have potent biological activities with novel diverse structures are reviewed with classification as secondary metabolites such as terpenes, polyketides, phenolics, and hydroperoxides. These compounds, isolated mainly from medicinal plants and marine sponges, are valuable sources in the drug discovery for particularly antitumor and antimalarial agents.

Keywords: peroxide, natural product, terpenes, polyketides, phenolics, hydroperoxides
