title: The chemistry and biology of organic guanidine derivatives.
abstract: Organic guanidine compounds are reviewed, with emphasis on natural products isolation, identification, synthesis and biological activities. The literature survey includes purely synthetic guanidine derivatives, guanidine alkaloids and non-ribosomal peptides from bacteria and cyanobacteria, as well as related compounds isolated from marine and terrestrial invertebrates and higher plants.
