<div>The phorbas genus gained interest in the late 1990s with the discovery of Phorbazoles; chlorinated phenylpyrrolyloxazoles. Since then, a large array of compounds (and classes of compounds) have been discovered. This includes, but is not limited to phorboxazoles, phorbasins, gagunins, phorbasterones, amaranzoles, phorbasides, muironolides, amaroxocanes, phorboketals, ansellones, gukulenins, phorbasones and phorones. A large majority of these compounds are terpenoids. Either plain terpenoids, diterpenoids etc and oxazoles; both classes of compounds displaying a wide range of biological activities.
