Iridoids from Scrophularia genus

Abstract

We report here an updated summary about iridoid composition of a series from the genus Scrophularia which have been investigated until now from a phytochemistry point of view. In addition a list is included about iridoids isolated in our laboratory from different plant parts of Scrophularia scorodonia L.,which are compared with iridoids from some species of the Scrophularia genus The present study may serve as a current information to researchers working on phytochemistry and pharmacological aspects from the Scrophularia genus and possibly to serve as a new starting point for future investigations.
