Phenolamides constitute a diverse and quantitatively major group of secondary metabolites resulting from the conjugation of a phenolic moiety with polyamines or with deaminated aromatic aminoacids. This review summarizes their bioactivities and their reported roles in plant development, adaptation and defence compared to those of their polyamine precursors. The most conclusive recent developments point to their contribution to cell-wall reinforcement and to direct toxicity for predators and pathogens, either as built-in or inducible defence. Phenolamides were often considered as accumulated end-chain products. Recent data bring a light on their biosynthesis and suggests their possible contribution in the branching of the phenylpropanoid metabolism.
苯甲酰胺类化合物是一类数量庞大、种类多样的次生代谢产物，由酚类部分与多胺或脱氨基芳香族氨基酸结合而成。本文综述了其生物活性及其在植物发育、适应和防御中的作用，并与多胺前体进行了比较。最近的研究进展表明，它们有助于细胞壁的加固，并对捕食者和病原体具有直接毒性，既可以作为固有防御，也可以作为诱导防御。苯甲酰胺类化合物通常被认为是积累的末端产物。最近的数据揭示了它们的生物合成途径，并提示它们可能参与了苯丙烷代谢的分支。
