Abstract: Chemical syntheses of hydroxytyrosol from different materials were investigated. Its disadvantages included long route, the low yield of product, and expensive catalyst as well as toxic reactants,etc.. This paper emphatically summarized biological synthetic routes for hydroxytyrosol with oleuropein and tyrosol. Furthermore, the syntheses and biological activities of hydroxytyrosol alkyl ether, lipophilic fatty acid ester, and glucoside derivatives, and structure-activity relationship were introduced. It is important to further study the syntheses of hydroxytyrosol and derivatives, and exploit new medicine of anti-tumor, anticancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Key words: hydroxytyrosol, alkyl ether, lipophilic fatty acid ester, glucosylated derivatives, biological transformation
