ABSTRACT
20The research of antibiotics, growing to huge dimensions throughout the world, has enriched the treasury of medications for humankind to a great extent. It is quite natural that the extensive development of modern isolation techniques and physicochemical structural investigation methods has gone a long way to make this research more successful. By application of various fields of spectroscopy, the structure elucidations, previously taking years of laborious work, can be now significantly shortened. Due to their speed and accuracy, these methods have become indispensible in pharmacological studies and in the qualification of the intermediates and formulated products of medicinal industrial technology [1—10]. Therefore, it is not surprising that these procedures have been included in official pharmacopeia [11—16], allowing their practical application.
