Acetogenins from Annonaceae family. Their potential biological applications

Abstract

The aim of this contribution has been to continue with the knowledge about newly isolated acetogenins from Annonaceae family for the last fifteen years. This review will report classification, extraction, isolation, elucidation of the structure, biological activities and mechanism of action of such interesting natural products. In fact, out of the 532 compounds reviewed, 115 previously non-described annonaceous acetogenins have been added to the list of isolated compounds from 2005 to May 2019.

Keywords: Annonaceous acetogenins; Biological activities; Classification; Extraction; Isolation; Mechanism of action; Structure elucidation.
