Amino Acids Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary.

The structural element of alicyclic β-amino acids shows some remarkable biological effects: For some 5- and 6-membered β-amino acids a unique anti fungal activity has been observed, 7-membered β-amino acid derivatives have been investigated for neurological disorders. The application of 5-, 6- and 7-membered alicyclic β-amino acids in Medicinal Chemistry will be reported.
