Abstract
This study is a review of the Condamineeae tribe, through the acquisition of data from phytochemical studies and evaluation of genera activities that constitute the tribe, in order to contribute to chemotaxonomic classification of this tribe in the Rubiaceae family. This review also states the scarcity of phytochemical investigations of several genera and consequently a lot of species of family.
Highlights
IntroductionBased on molecular phylogenetic studies [2] [3] this family is partitioned in three subfamilies: Cinchonoideae, Ixoroideae and Rubioideae
The Rubiaceae family has approximately 660 genus and around 11,150 species [1]
It was observed the species that belongs to the genera of Condamineeae tribe presented a considered number of metabolites in similar biosynthetic origin and a lot of them presenting some kind of biological activity
Summary
Based on molecular phylogenetic studies [2] [3] this family is partitioned in three subfamilies: Cinchonoideae, Ixoroideae and Rubioideae It is widely distributed, mainly on tropical and subtropical regions and on cold and temperate regions in Europe and north of Canada [4]. In America this family is represented by approximately 229 genus and 5200 species [5] Nowadays it has around 118 genus and 1347 species in Brazil, corresponding to one of the main families of Brazilian flora [6]. This vast family is composed by classes of secondary metabolites with highly significant pharmacological potential.
