Silvestrol is a natural product from the flavagline family, with a cyclopenta[b] benzofuran core structure and an unusual dioxane ether side chain, which is found in the bark of trees from the genus Aglaia , especially Aglaia silvestris and Aglaia foveolata . [1]

Bioactivity

It acts as a potent and selective inhibitor of the RNA helicase enzyme eIF4A, and has both broad-spectrum antiviral activity against diseases such as Ebola and coronaviruses, [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] and anti-cancer properties, [7] [8] which makes it of considerable interest in medical research. However, as it cannot be extracted from tree bark in commercial amounts and is prohibitively complex to produce synthetically, [9] practical applications have focused more on structurally simplified analogues such as CR-31-B. [10]
