Abstract

Związki bioaktywne sinic wykazują różnorodne właściwości, które potencjalnie mogą być wykorzystane w wielu sektorach przemysłu. W artykule tym szczególny nacisk położono na wykorzystanie sinic i ich cyjanometabolitów, zarówno w przemyśle farmaceutycznym, jak i medycznym. Scharakteryzowano związki wyizolowane ze szczepów sinic, które można stosować do wytwarzania leków o działaniu przeciwwirusowym, przeciwgrzybiczym, przeciwnowotworowym, przeciwdrobnoustrojowym oraz przeciwbakteryjnym. Pokazano również pozytywne aspekty hodowli sinic i możliwości ich komercyjnego wykorzystania.
