Abstract

Throughout human history, so-called medicinal plants have been used for the treatment of various ailments. However, the substances that, in part, provide such magnificent qualities to these plants have not been identified until relatively recently. Well, in this work we are going to talk about these substances, which are usually secondary metabolites, while we are going to deal with other compounds, polyamines, very little known to those who do not handle specialized literature.
