Recent Advance on Chemistry and Bioactivities of Secondary Metabolites from Viburnum Plants: An Update

“…Ninety‐seven lignan constituents ( 189 – 285 ) were reported from the genus Viburnum ( Tables 6,7,89, Figures 6,7,8,9), which displayed great growth in the number of lignans compared to five in the previous review [7] . Lignans, with the oxidative coupling of two C6–C3 units, are considered as a kind of phytoestrogen existing in food with the potential effects of health promotion and chronic disease prevention.…”

“…The genus has been considered as the important plant resource possessing great potential for food and drug developments. However, there is the previous review on this genus just being updated to 2008 [7] . To fill this gap, in this review, the advances of naturally occurring compounds from Viburnum genus between 2008 and 2020, including their chemical structures, sources, bioactivities and structure‐activity relationships (SARs) are described.…”

Vibsane‐Type Diterpenoids: Structures, Derivatives, Bioactivities, and Synthesis

“…They grow as shrubs or small trees and are deciduous or evergreen. There are about 200 species of Viburnum in the world, including North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, and North Africa [2] . In 1980, vibsane‐type compounds were first isolated from V. odoratissimum [3] .…”
