“…Some chemical aspects of five species ( G. asclepiadea , G. cruciata , G. gelida , G. pneumonanthe , G. septemfida ) were shown previously, but G. paradoxa is still an unstudied species. The known data include information about flavonoids (flavones only) in four species [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25], xanthones (mangiferin, gentisin and its glycosides) in three species [15,16,17,18,20,26,27], iridoid glycosides in five species [18,19,22,27,28,29,30,31,32], monoterpenes in G. pneumonanthe [32], and triterpenes and naphthodipyranodione in G. asclepiadea [32,33]. In total, thirty-nine compounds were found in five gentians with most diverse classes of flavonoids and iridoid glycosides (Table S2).…”
