The total synthesis of antroquinonol has been accomplished through Suzuki鈥揗iyaura cross-coupling and Barton鈥揗cCombie reaction, and the 伪,尾-unsaturation was achieved through selenylation and oxidation protocols. In vitro and in vivo studies on the glucose-lowering properties of antroquinonol indicate that it is a potential antidiabetic agent.
