Biological activity is related to the presence of active groups of Kalanchoe plants [11] (Fig.…”

“…Biological activity is related to the presence of active groups of Kalanchoe plants [11] (Fig. 1), like ortho acetate and α-phyrone in bufadienolide [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], hydroxyl in phenolic compounds [13][14][15] and amine in alkaloid compounds [16] . The relevance of a functional group of secondary metabolites and their activity are very interesting to study, especially phenolic compounds which are the largest secondary metabolite in Kalanchoe [5].…”

“…From the point of ethnopharmacology, Kalanchoe plants are used as traditional medicines to cure headache, cough, chest pain, ulcer and skin diseases. They cure fever, fix the irregular menstruation, heal wound, hypertension and are utilized, not only in Indonesia but also almost sure [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] everywhere in the world [3][4].
