The genus has attracted a great interest in the scientific communits and it has been the subject ofmore than 320 published phytochemical studies in the last 35 years. It is mainly a source of sesquiterpenes, diterpenes and lignans, some of them with very promising biological activities. The compounds identified from Juniperus species during the period 1970-2004, except essential oils fractions, are compiled in this report togetherwith the biological activities of the Juniperus extracts and of the isolated pure compounds. |
