The genus , belonging to the Caprifoliaceae family, is a rich source of interesting secondary metabolites, including mainly saponins which display a variety of biological activities, such as immunomodulatory, antimicrobial and hemolytic effects. Besides these compounds, flavonoids and phenolic acids were identified in species. is employed in traditional medicine e.g., to cure cardiac and lung diseases, rheumatism, and regulate menstruation. In this review we focus on the phenolic compound composition and antioxidative activity of species. The antioxidant effect can be explained by flavonoids present in all parts of these plants. However, future efforts should concentrate more on in vitro and in vivo studies and also on clinical trials in order to confirm the possibility of using these plants as natural antioxidants for the pharmacology, food or cosmetic industries.
该属植物属于忍冬科，是有趣的次生代谢产物的丰富来源，主要包括具有多种生物活性的皂苷，如免疫调节、抗菌和溶血作用。除了这些化合物外，在该属植物中还鉴定出了黄酮类化合物和酚酸。该属植物被用于传统医学，例如治疗心肺疾病、风湿病和调节月经。在本综述中，我们关注该属植物的酚类化合物组成和抗氧化活性。这些植物各部分中存在的黄酮类化合物可以解释其抗氧化作用。然而，未来的研究应更多地集中在体外和体内研究以及临床试验上，以确认将这些植物用作药理学、食品或化妆品行业天然抗氧化剂的可能性。
