Abstract
Halogenated polyethers, pyrones, coumarins and flavones compose four comparatively small but interesting groups of natural compounds. Some of these compounds are antibiotics, toxins or biologically active substances. They have been found in microorganisms, e. g. cyanobacteria, fungi, plants, algae and in invertebrates. Structures of about 100 compounds have been considered, and data on their biological activity presented.
