Natural Product Reports Pub Date: 2005-05-05 DOI: 10.1039/B416651P

Abstract

Covering: December 1992 to December 2004

The review summarises natural products containing the 2-pyrone moiety. An emphasis has been placed upon the biological activity associated with 2-pyrones, particularly with respect to potential therapeutic or anti-microbial agents. Where appropriate, non-natural 2-pyrone analogues are discussed, particularly those derived from natural product lead compounds.
