Synthetic and Biosynthetic Studies on Bioactive Microbial Metabolites
Abstract
The secondary metabolites of micro-organisms are characterized by their enormous variety of chemical structures. Many of these compounds possess interesting biological properties. In general the biological features cannot be assigned to a single specific molecular structure or functionality. However many bioactive microbial metabolites contain a lactam group as a characteristic structural element.
