This review provides information on the chemodiversity of Serratula and Klasea species and their potential as sources of bioactive metabolites.
Serratula L. and Klasea Cass. are two systematically related genera of the family Asteraceae, which are distributed in most of the Eurasia area and are used as food and colorants and in traditional medicines as a drug. Since 1967, 261 metabolites have been isolated and identified from five Serratula species and 21 Klasea species. This review provides information on the chemodiversity of the terpenes, penolics, lipids, and other compounds found in both genera and their occurrence in individual species. Among the studied species, the most studied are S. coronata subsp. coronata, K. centauroides, and K. centauroides subsp. centauroides. This review also provides information on the methods of extraction, isolation, and analysis of ecdysteroids and flavonoids as the most valuable metabolites. For the first time, we provide general information about the biological activity of these extracts and individual compounds. The data presented in this review demonstrate the prospects of Serratula and Klasea species as sources of bioactive metabolites.
