Abstract
The current paper reviews the published literature up to March 2012 regarding the phytochemical components and biological activities of Verbesina species (Asteraceae). A compilation of compounds isolated from several members of this genus is presented. Eudesmanes are the most common secondary metabolites found within this genus. Flavonoids, guanidine alkaloids, acetylenic compounds, and several other terpenes with a great variety of hydrocarbon skeletons have also been isolated. The botanical classification, ethnopharmacology and pharmacological applications of Verbesina species are discussed.
Keywords: Antihypertensive, asteraceae (compositae), eudesmanes, guanidine alkaloids, verbesina, terpenoids.

Ayurvedic medicinal therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders
Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
