This review covers the research on brown algal pheromones from the first structural characterisation of an active principle in 1971 to the recent detailed insight into their biosynthesis. Development of analytical methods and bioassays that lead to the identification of a structural variety of different fatty acid-derived pheromones are reported. Special emphasis is focused on the inactivation of initially released pheromones through pericyclic reactions. The impact of pheromone-research on the defensive chemistry of brown algae and diatoms is discussed. 121 references are cited.
本综述涵盖了从1971年首次对一种活性成分进行结构表征到最近对其生物合成的详细洞察的关于褐藻信息素的研究。报道了导致鉴定出多种不同脂肪酸衍生信息素结构的分析方法和生物测定法的发展。特别强调了通过周环反应使最初释放的信息素失活。讨论了信息素研究对褐藻和硅藻防御化学的影响。引用了121篇参考文献。
