Naturally Occurring β-Lactams

  • Chapter
Fortschritte der Chemie organischer Naturstoffe / Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products

Abstract

Since the discovery of penicillin, the vast majority of new natural products possessing the β-lactam ring structure have fallen into that family of compounds known as β-lactam antibiotics. At present the only natural products possessing a β-lactam and not normally associated with this group are the pachystermines (1), the wild-fire toxin (2), and a related antimetabolite (3). The bleomycins and phleomycins (4) were also originally thought to possess a β-lactam unit, but this is now known not to be the case (5).
