The role of polyamines in biological systems is now well recognised. In this review an introduction to polyamines and their biological significance is first outlined. The main focus of this review is on the chemical strategies used in the synthesis of polyamines, their derivatives, analogues and conjugates. Recent developments in solid phase synthesis of more complex polyamine molecules is also covered.
