Contribution of the Scientific School of Academician M.G. Voronkov to the Development of the Chemistry of Biologically Active Atranes (Protatranes and Hydrometallatranes) (A Review)

The main results of the many years’ studies of the scientific school of Academician Mikhail G. Voronkov in the field of two subgroups of the atrane family (protatranes and hydrometallatranes) as well as the results of research in continuation of the studies initiated by Academician M. G. Voronkov have been summarized and presented. Long-term studies of atranes under the leadership of M. G. Voronkov have led to the discovery of their unique biological activity and the creation of a series of unique original drugs and means of agricultural chemicalization: biostimulants and adaptogens for agricultural plants, animals, useful insects and microorganisms.
