Abstract

Data on neoflavones isolated from 58 plants belonging to the Clusiaceae, Fabaceae, Rubiaceae, Thelypteridaceae, Passifloraceae, Asteraceae, and Rutaceae families from the literature up to 2002 were systematized and reviewed. A list of 1314-phenylcoumarins with information on the plant sources, structures, physicochemical data, and pharmacological properties with references to the original literature was composed.
