Hydroperoxides (R-OOH) represent a small family of natural metabolites that have been isolated from higher plants, fungi, and marine organisms. This paper is devoted to the distribution of hydroperoxides in plants, fungi and terrestrial fungal endophytes and their biological activity. Hydroperoxides of plants demonstrate a wide range of biological activities however, antineoplastic and anti-ulcerative are most characteristic with confidence from 91 to 98 percent. For hydroperoxides from fungi, the dominant are antineoplastic and anti-hypercholesterolemic activities with confidence from 89 to 92 percent. Very interesting activity was found for some triterpenoid hydroperoxides, which is characterized as a treatment for the symptoms of dementia. The norlupane hydroperoxide shows activity for the treatment of dementia. It is interesting that the reliability of this activity was very high 97.2%. According to our preliminary data, the norlupane hydroperoxide is apparently the first natural metabolite that showed almost 100 percent activity for the treatment of dementia. However, to confirm these data requires practical and clinical experimental work.
