The structural element of alicyclic beta-amino acids shows some remarkable biological effects: For some 5- and 6-membered beta-amino acids a unique anti fungal activity has been observed, 7-membered beta-amino acid derivatives have been investigated for neurological disorders. The application of 5-, 6- and 7-membered alicyclic beta-amino acids in Medicinal Chemistry will be reported. [structure: see text]
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
