General Description

The chemical "[aR,(-)]-5,5',6,6',8,8'-Hexahydroxy-2,2'-di(hydroxymethyl)-9,9'-bi[4H-naphtho[2,3-b]pyran]-4,4'-dione" is a complex organic compound with a chiral center. It contains six hydroxyl groups, two hydroxymethyl groups, and two naphtho[2,3-b]pyran moieties. [aR,(-)]-5,5',6,6',8,8'-Hexahydroxy-2,2'-di(hydroxymethyl)-9,9'-bi[4H-naphtho[2,3-b]pyran]-4,4'-dione has a dihydroxydiketone structure and is derived from the natural product hypericin, which is found in plants of the Hypericum genus. It has potential pharmaceutical applications due to its photodynamic and antitumor properties, as well as its ability to inhibit viral replication. However, due to its complex structure, it is challenging to synthesize and study.
