Abstract
The genera Adenolobus, Cercis and Griffonia are closely related and classified within the subtribe Cercidinae of the Fabaceae family. Since no information exists on the secondary metabolites of the genus Adenolobus, this review focuses on the phytochemistry of Cercis and Griffonia. The genus Cercis is a source of interesting specialized metabolites including 82 phenolic compounds comprising 51 flavonoids, ten terpenoids, three cyanogenic glycosides, 54 volatile compounds, and some compounds from other compound classes. In the genus Griffonia, G. simplicifolia has been traditionally used for a variety of medicinal purposes, and research is mainly focused on this species. This review discusses the chemical structures of nine alkaloids reported from G. simplicifolia and compounds isolated from the genus Cercis along with their chemophenetic analysis. Finally, the review briefly mentions research gaps and potential directions for future investigations.
期刊介绍:
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).
In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.
