The Botanical Review Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A comprehensive survey of the 1966–1984 literature of the chemical constituents in ferns is presented. A table of fern constituents listed by species arranged according to Crabbe et al. (1975) is included. Advances in flavonoid, terpenoid and xanthone fern phytochemistry, including chemosystematics, are summarized. The taxonomic, chemical and pharmaceutical aspects of the phloroglucinols found in ferns are discussed. Developments in the investigation into the structure of the toxic principles of bracken (Pteridium aquilinum), whose consumption leads to cancer in domestic stock and to bracken cattle poisoning, are presented.

Sumario

Se presenta un examen de la literature de constituyentes de helechos desde 1966 hasta 1984. Una tabla de constituyentes de helechos por especie, arreglada segun Crabbe et al. (1975), está incluída. Se resumen los desarrollos en fitoquímica de flavonas, terpenos y xantonas de helechos, incluyendo quimosistemáticos. Los aspectos taxonómicos, químicos y farmaceúticos de los floroglucinoles encontrados en helechos estan discutidos. Los desarrollos en la investigación de la estructura de los substituyentes venenosos dePteridium aquilinum, cuyo consumo causa el cancer en ganado doméstico y el envenenamiento del ganado vacuno, estan presentados.
