Abstract

This article is a critical review of the taxonomy and phytochemistry of the genus Zephyranthes Herb., a group of plants known for their beautiful flowers and traditional medicinal uses. The present review summarizes the occurrence, isolation, and identification of specialized metabolites, which have recently been frequently studied because of their important biological activities. Among the accepted 203 species, only 27 have been phytochemically investigated. This paper provides an overview of the different types of specialized metabolites identified in these plants and considers problematic taxonomic evolution within this species. The differences between two internationally recognized databases, which classify only 41% of the species in the same way, are briefly summarized. In addition, there are many reports on their metabolites, especially alkaloids, but some of the data in the literature are occasionally inaccurate and sometimes even erroneous. This critical review aims to discuss, summarize, and evaluate up-to-date (up to July of 2023) information about metabolites of the genus Zephyranthes, focusing on phytochemistry and taxonomy.

Zephyranthes Herb.属的特殊代谢物：分类学和植物化学评论

本文是一篇关于泽兰属（Zephyranthes Herb.）分类学和植物化学的重要综述，泽兰属植物以其美丽的花朵和传统的药用价值而闻名。本综述总结了特殊代谢物的出现、分离和鉴定情况，这些特殊代谢物因其重要的生物活性而在最近被频繁研究。在已被接受的 203 种植物中，只有 27 种进行过植物化学研究。本文概述了在这些植物中鉴定出的不同类型的特化代谢物，并探讨了这些物种中存在的分类演变问题。两个国际公认的数据库只对 41% 的物种进行了相同的分类，本文简要总结了这两个数据库之间的差异。此外，关于其代谢物（尤其是生物碱）的报道很多，但文献中的一些数据有时并不准确，有时甚至是错误的。这篇重要综述旨在讨论、总结和评估有关泽兰属代谢物的最新（截至 2023 年 7 月）信息，重点关注植物化学和分类学。

期刊介绍： Phytochemistry Reviews is the sole review journal encompassing all facets of phytochemistry. It publishes peer-reviewed papers in six issues annually, including topical issues often stemming from meetings organized by the Phytochemical Society of Europe. Additionally, the journal welcomes original review papers that contribute to advancing knowledge in various aspects of plant chemistry, function, biosynthesis, effects on plant and animal physiology, pathology, and their application in agriculture and industry. Invited meeting papers are supplemented with additional review papers, providing a comprehensive overview of the current status across all areas of phytochemistry.
