Studies on lilium species
Journal Title: International Journal of Secondary Metabolite - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
In this review, some studies on Lilium genus that have about 100 species and belong to Liliaceae were investigated and compiled. Lilium is used in different fields as medicine, food, landscape and perfumery industry. There are a lot of molecular and genetic studies on Lilium species because of its large kromosoms. The antioxidant, cytotoxic, genotoxic activities of some species were determined and some phyochemical compounds were isolated from Lilium species. According to researches, Lilium species are potential antioxidant sources and include some compounds as steroidal saponins, glycoalkaloid and phenolic glyceride was found. Consequently, this review strongly suggest that this genus may serve for pharmaceutical applications and can continue to be used as an ornamental plant.
