“…Additionally, the first abietane diterpenoid from the genus Selaginella (isolated from S. involven Spring) was reported in 2014 (Long et al 2014). Two novel C-28 spirostene monosides, chrysocauloside A (1β,3β-dihydroxy-20S,22R-spirost-5-ene-1-yl-β-D-glucopyranoside) and chrysocauloside B (1β,3β-dihydroxy-20S,22R-spirost-5-ene-1-yl-β-D-galactopyranoside), were identified from S. ehrysocaulos; both compounds are O-glycosylated at C-1 and bear a methyl group at C-24 and C-25 (Kunert et al 2015).…”

Ferns are an important phytogenetic bridge between lower and higher plants. Historically they have been used in many ways by humans, including as ornamental plants, domestic utensils, foods, and in handicrafts. In addition, they have found uses as medicinal herbs. Ferns produce a wide array of secondary metabolites endowed with different bioactivities that could potentially be useful in the treatment of many diseases. However, there is currently relatively little information in the literature on the phytochemicals present in ferns and their pharmacological applications, and the most recent review of the literature on the occurrence, chemotaxonomy and physiological activity of fern secondary metabolites was published over 20 years ago, by Soeder (Bot Rev 51:442–536, 1985). Here, we provide an updated review of this field, covering recent findings concerning the bioactive phytochemicals and pharmacology of fern species

“…Selaginella research exhaustively needs to be conducted to explore all natural products constituents and their bioactivities. According to Kunert, et al, (2015) the genus is especially well-known to be a rich source of biflavonoids, some of which have reported pharmacological activities. Selaginella species have attracted attention of researchers worldwide due to the presence of high value bioactive molecules such as flavonoid, biflavonoids, tannin, saponin, triterpene, steroid and many other secondary metabolites.…”

Plants have been the foundation of several traditional medicinal systems all over the world to provide mankind with new remedies for thousands of years and still continue. In the ancient times human understanding about medicine was always near to some plant. It was the time when medicinal system was entirely based on plants. Among different medicinally useful plants one such plant is called Selaginella bryopteris L. in the botanical world and also known as Sanjeevani due to its magical medicinal properties. It is an herb which is traditionally used in many health-related problems like bacterial, viral, fungal infections, allergy, curing wounds, irregular menstruations and uterine disorders. According to some reports it is also used for fitness and better life span by the tribal communities of India. Different researchers across the country investigated and came up with its unique different properties and new possibilities every time. Apart from these Hindu mythological evidences are there which tells about its extraordinary potential of infuses life to dead. So, it is certainly a matter of more and more research to find out its ever-new hidden capabilities

“…The genus Selaginella ( Selaginellaceae ) is composed of approximately 70 species, many of which are distributed in China where many have been used for treating bleeding, jaundice, gonorrhea, and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in traditional Chinese medicine. 1 The genus is known as a rich source of secondary metabolites including flavonoids, 2 selaginellin, 3 alkaloids, 4 lignans, 5 and steroids, 6 which have been reported to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities, such as antitumor, 7,8 antibiosis, 9,10 antiviral, 11 and antioxidant. 12 S. trichoclada Alsto, commonly known as “boyundan, yanbaicao and tubozi” in folk medicine, is mainly distributed in the southern area of China, where it is used widely as a herbal medicine for clearing heat and promoting diuresis and relieving cough.…”

A new optical biflavonoid, (2” R)-2″,3″-dihydrorobustaflavone 7,4′-dimethyl ether (1), and 6 known compounds (2-7) were isolated for the first time from the 70% ethanol extract of Selaginella trichoclada Alsto. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by extensive spectroscopic data analyses. Racemic compound 1 was separated by chiral-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, and the absolute configurations of (±)-1 were defined by circular dichroism spectroscopic data. Compound 1 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against MCF-7, A549, and HepG2 human cancer cell lines.
