Abstract
The genera Adenolobus, Cercis and Griffonia are closely related and classified within the subtribe Cercidinae of the Fabaceae family. Since no information exists on the secondary metabolites of the genus Adenolobus, this review focuses on the phytochemistry of Cercis and Griffonia. The genus Cercis is a source of interesting specialized metabolites including 82 phenolic compounds comprising 51 flavonoids, ten terpenoids, three cyanogenic glycosides, 54 volatile compounds, and some compounds from other compound classes. In the genus Griffonia, G. simplicifolia has been traditionally used for a variety of medicinal purposes, and research is mainly focused on this species. This review discusses the chemical structures of nine alkaloids reported from G. simplicifolia and compounds isolated from the genus Cercis along with their chemophenetic analysis. Finally, the review briefly mentions research gaps and potential directions for future investigations.
