Abstract
The aim of this review is to collect, systematize and contrast the many recent advances in xanthones biochemistry and biology. Advances in understanding xanthones antimicrobial activities will be discussed. Pharmacological and biological properties of naturally occurring as well as synthetic xanthones will be considered in an evaluation of their medical values.
