Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Liriope(Liliaceae) species have been used as folk medicines in Asian countries since ancient times. From Liriope plants(8 species), a total of 132 compounds(except polysaccharides) have been isolated and identified, including steroidal saponins, flavonoids, phenols, and eudesmane sesquiterpenoids. The crude extracts or monomeric compounds from this genus have been shown to exhibit anti-tumor, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective activities. The present review summarizes the results on phytochemical and biological studies on Liriope plants. The chemotaxonomy of this genus is also discussed.
