Active secondary metabolites (ASM) play a highly significant role in the drug discovery. Natural complex chemical skeleton such as statins isolated from Aspergillus terreus, or acetogenins specific from Annonaceae family, are not able to be invented in any laboratory. The ASM isolated from Annonaces, especially acetogenins and isoquinoline alkaloids should be considered as a source of continuous inspiration for the chemists, the pharmacologists and all researchers that are interested in discovering a new drug family. --- Los metabolitos secundarios activos (MSA) juegan un papel importante en el descubrimiento de nuevos medicamentos. Moléculas naturales con esqueletos complejos, tales como l…
