Combretastatin


Combretastatin is a dihydrostilbenoid found in Combretum caffrum.
Combretastatins are a class of natural phenols. A variety of different natural combretastatin molecules are present in the bark of Combretum caffrum, commonly known as South African Bush Willow. Despite having a similar name, combretastatins are unrelated to statins, a family of cholesterol lowering drugs.
