PHYTOCHEMISTRY AND ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY OF LIPPIA GENUS WITH A STATEMENT ON CHEMOTAXONOMY AND ESSENTIAL OIL CHEMOTYPES
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacognosy - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Lippia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the Verbenaceae family. It contains about 220 species with diverse ethno-pharmacological applications. Myriad of biologically active phytoconstituents abound in Lippia. The essential oil chemotypes found in Lippia species included myrcenone rich-type, carvone rich-type, piperitenone rich-type, ipsenone rich-type, linalool rich-type, citral rich-type, carvacrol rich-type, thymol rich-type and lippiol rich-type. Other constituents apart from essential oils isolated and chemically characterized were highlighted. β-caryophyllene and iridoid glycosides were notable as chemotaxonomic marker compounds which were common to many of Lippia species.
