Constituents of the plant family Annonaceae, called Annonaceous acetogenins, have a broad field of biological activity ranging from insecticidal and fungicidal to cancerostatic effects. Since the first disclosure of a member of this class of natural products by Cole and co-workers in 1982, more than 90 members of this class of compounds have been isolated to date. The goal of the present review is to summarize the knowledge concerning Annonaceous acetogenins with the focal point being on the synthetic work.
