Abstract
Leucosceptrum canum Sm., belonging to the Lamiaceae family, is a colorful, aromatic woody plant renowned for its nectar production. Extensive phytochemical research over the years has led to the identification of numerous chemical constituents within L. canum, particularly highlighting diterpenoids and sesterterpenoids as its characteristic compounds. L. canum has demonstrated a wide range of biological activities including antibacterial, cytotoxic, antifeedant, insecticidal, herbicidal, immunomodulatory and showed potential properties for treatment of heat stroke, anonymous swollen, impetigo, suppurative osteomyelitis, traumatic injury, and bleeding wound. Phytochemical investigation on L. canum exhibits chemophenetic significance based on its characteristic compounds. Additionally, sesterterpenoids and some other compounds serve as valuable chemotaxonomic marker of this genus, since there are no reports on their isolation from other genera and families. In the current article, the latest research progress on L. canum was reviewed to have a more comprehensive and systemic understanding of the plant. Further exploration of its pharmacological potential and elucidation of its chemical diversity could pave the way for novel applications and therapeutic interventions.
期刊介绍：
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).
In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.
