Some hexachloronaphthalene (HxCN) isomers may be classified as having an order of magnitude grater dioxinlike potency as compared to octachloro- and octabromo dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran [12].
Summary: Aervfuranoside (1), a new chlorinated dibenzofuran glycoside together with ten (2-11) known compounds were isolated from ethyl acetate soluble fraction of methanolic extract of the flowers of Aerva javanica.
On the other hand, two pulvinic acid derivatives, vulpinic acid ([t.sub.R] = 30.336 min) and pinastric acid ([t.sub.R] = 32.350 min), and dibenzofuran usnic acid ([t.sub.R] = 39.463 min) were the predominant metabolites in the Vulpicida canadensis methanol extract.

On the other hand, cyclopentenediones, furans, furfurals, levoglucosenone and dibenzofuran originate from fresh and/or degraded carbohydrates (Buurman and Roscoe 2011).
The various heterocyclic rings substituted on the dibenzofuran scaffold do not seem to have strong interactions with the binding pocket of MMP-12 as it was suggested previously by X-ray crystallography [9].

These papers represent some of the latest developments and covers some surprisingly multidisciplinary topics, such as the elucidation of electron-transfer pathways in copper and iron proteins by pulse radiolysis; peptide- or protein-cleaving agents based on metal complexes; the structure of coordination polymers of the lanthanide elements; the supramolecular chemistry of gases; the organometallic chemistry of Rh-, Ir , Pd- and Pt-based radicals; unique complexes in the diverse world of metal-alkyne chemistry; oxygen activation chemistry of Pacman and Hangman porphyrin architecture based on xanthene and dibenzofuran spacers; metal-containing nucleic acid structures based on synergetic hydrogen and coordination bonding; and bispidine coordination chemistry.
