The role of polyamines in biological systems is now well recognised. In this review an introduction to polyamines and their biological significance is first outlined. The main focus of this review is on the chemical strategies used in the synthesis of polyamines, their derivatives, analogues and conjugates. Recent developments in solid phase synthesis of more complex polyamine molecules is also covered.
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.
