Naturally occurring iridoids, secoiridoids and their bioactivity. An updated review, part 3

Abstract

Naturally occurring new iridoids and secoiridoids published during 2005-2008 are reviewed with available physical and spectral data: mp, [α]D, UV, IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR and plant source. The works on biological and pharmacological activity of naturally occurring iridoids and secoiridoids reported during 2005-2008 are also reviewed. Bioactivities like antibacterial, anticancer, anticoagulant, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, antiprotozoal, hepatoprotective and neuroprotective activities are highlighted. © 2009 Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.
