The phytochemical content of the Mediterranean species of the Sideritis genus has been reviewed. The components included in this review are monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, triterpenes, sterols, flavones, coumarins and phenylpropanoids. From the chemotaxonomic point of view, we have divided the species from this region into four groups. The first of this is formed by taxa containing triterpenes, but not diterpenes. A second group is constituted by species having bicyclic diterpenes of the labdane type and not diterpenes. The third group is characterized by its content in tetracyclic diterpenes of the ent-kaurene type. A fourth group is composed of plants with tetracyclic diterpenes of the ent-beyer-15-ene and/or ent-atis-13-ene class. In addition, the relations of these Mediterranean species with those of the Macaronesian region have been examined.
已经对地中海地区贯叶连翘属植物的植物化学成分进行了综述。本综述中包含的成分有单萜、倍半萜、二萜、三萜、甾醇、黄酮类、香豆素和苯丙素类。从化学分类学的角度来看，我们将该地区的物种分为四组。第一组由含有三萜但不含二萜的类群组成。第二组由具有贝壳杉型双环二萜而不含二萜的物种组成。第三组的特征是含有四环二萜-ent-kaurene 型。第四组由具有贝壳杉型四环二萜-ent-beyer-15-ene 和/或 ent-atis-13-ene 类的植物组成。此外，还检查了这些地中海物种与马卡罗内西亚地区物种的关系。
