“…209 Other edible stilbenoid containing species exist, but are used less widely, such as jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), 219 lampascioni (Muscari comosum), 220 and species in the Gnetum genera, such as G. africanum and G. gnemon. 221,222 The Vitaceae (grape) family is one of the most widely studied groups of stilbenoid containing plants. Of the approximately 16 genera within Vitaceae, 32 eight have had stilbenoids identified as chemical constituents, Ampelopsis, Cayratia, Cissus, Cyphostemma, Muscadinia, Parthenocissus, Rhoicissus, and Vitis (see ESI † Tables S1-S12).…”

Stilbenoids, a family of polyphenols known for the complexity of their structure and for their diverse biological activities, occur with a limited but heterogeneous distribution in the plant kingdom. The most prominent stilbene containing plant family, the Vitaceae, represented by the famous wine producing grape vines Vitis vinifera L., is one of the richest sources of novel stilbenes currently known, together with other families, such as Dipterocarpaceae, Gnetaceae and Fabaceae. This review focuses on the distribution of stilbenes and 2-arylbenzofuran derivatives in the plant kingdom, the chemical structure of stilbenes in the Vitaceae family and their taxonomic implication.

“…Finally, both cardiac glycosides and steroidal compounds were found in G. kola extracts. This coincides with the fact that the plant is traditionally used to combat chest pain or cardiac infection, while men are commonly chewing the seeds as an aphrodisiac [8,54].…”

“…Its common name "bitter kola" reflects the typical taste of G. kola seeds, which are truly bitter/astringent. The less common expression "male kola" arose from its aphrodisiacal effect on men [54] whereas "false kola" suggests that some people consume the species' seeds instead of cola nuts coming from Cola spp. [36,55].…”

Garcinia kola Heckel (Clusiaceae), known as bitter kola, is a multipurpose tree indigenous to West and Central Africa. This highly preferred species is called “wonder plant” because all of its parts can be used as medicine. Its seeds, the most valued product of the tree, are commonly eaten to prevent/cure gastric disorders and for their typical astringent taste. There is a vast evidence that bioactive components of the seeds can serve as alternative medicine to treat/prevent severe illnesses such as malaria, hepatitis and immune-destructive diseases. Despite the species’ pharmaceutical potential and its high preference by West and Central African communities, G. kola is still at the beginning of its domestication process. Even though, there are numerous scientific articles published on species‘ biological activities, it is a difficult task to find basic information on its diversity, distribution, genetics, silvicultural management or botany. Therefore, in this very first review published on G. kola, we summarize all relevant information known about the species, target some of the challenges connected with its cultivation and propose a leading direction for future research and domestication process.
