Abstract
Noncovalent interactions, namely ion pair interactions, hydrogen bonds, cation–π interactions and London dispersion forces are considered to have a fundamental impact in molecular recognition. The relationship between metal ions and natural products has been extensively studied. A great number of natural products possess ion chelating ability, such as cyclic peptides, ionophores, siderophores, phytochelatins, flavonoids and other types of compounds, namely polysaccharides and oligosaccharides. These findings spurred extensive research on the ion chelating natural products over the past decade. This review provides a more detailed insight of siderophores, phytochelatins and ion chelating flavonoids obtained from natural sources.
Keywords: Natural products, ion chelating ability, cyclic peptides, ionophores, phytochelatins.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
