“…Phytochemical studies on the genus Pteris (Pteridaceae) have yielded a variety of secondary metabolites including ent-kaurane diterpenoids and pterosin-sesquiterpenes (Wang et al 2011a, b, c;Liu et al 2011a, b, c;Shu et al 2012;Murakami et al 1980;Tanaka et al 1982), flavonoids Lu et al 1999), benzenoids, and benzenoid derivatives . Pterosins and ent-kaurane diterpenoids are the characteristic constituents of the fern family Pteridaceae.…”

“…Phytochemical investigations on Pteris have revealed that the C 14 and C 15 illudane-type sesquiterpenoids known as pterosins ( Fig. 8), are key chemotaxonomical constituents of the genus (Wang et al 2011a, b, c;Liu et al 2011a, b, c;Shu et al 2012;Murakami et al 1980;Tanaka et al 1982). The pterosins are a large group of naturally occurring sesquiterpenes with an indanone skeleton.…”

“…To date, over 60 pterosin sesquiterpenoids, all 2,5,7-trimethyl-indan-1-one derivatives, have been isolated from Pteris ( Fig. 9) (Wang et al 2011a, b, c;Liu et al 2011a, b, c;Shu et al 2012;Murakami et al 1980;Tanaka et al 1982). Several of them, including pterosin Z and acetyl-Δ 2 -dehydropterosin B have proven to be cytotoxic (Chen et al 2008a, b).…”

Ferns are an important phytogenetic bridge between lower and higher plants. Historically they have been used in many ways by humans, including as ornamental plants, domestic utensils, foods, and in handicrafts. In addition, they have found uses as medicinal herbs. Ferns produce a wide array of secondary metabolites endowed with different bioactivities that could potentially be useful in the treatment of many diseases. However, there is currently relatively little information in the literature on the phytochemicals present in ferns and their pharmacological applications, and the most recent review of the literature on the occurrence, chemotaxonomy and physiological activity of fern secondary metabolites was published over 20 years ago, by Soeder (Bot Rev 51:442–536, 1985). Here, we provide an updated review of this field, covering recent findings concerning the bioactive phytochemicals and pharmacology of fern species

“…The entire plant of P. multifida contains various bioactive compounds including: luteolin-7-O-glucoside (Murakami and Machashi, 1985;Lu et al, 1999), 16-hydroxy-kaurane-2-β-D-glucoside (Liu and Qin, 2002), luteolin, palmitic acid, apigenin 4-O-α-L-rhamnoside (Lu et al, 1999;Qin et al, 2006), quercetin, hyperin, isoquercitrin, kaempferol, rutin (Lu et al, 1999;Wang et al, 2010;Hoang and Tran, 2014), and apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (Lu et al, 1999;Hoang and Tran, 2014). Also, the cytotoxic bioactive compounds, pterosin sesquiterpenes, have been isolated from P. multifida (Shu et al, 2012). Bioactive terpenoids, especially the monocyclic sesquiterpene α-caryophyllene, were found in an ethanolic extract of Pteris tripartita (Baskaran and Jeyachandran, 2010).…”

Abstract:The aim of this review was to explore the pharmacological activity of early tracheophytes (pteridophytes) as an alternative medicine for treating human ailments. As the first vascular plants, pteridophytes (aka, ferns and fern allies) are an ancient lineage, and human beings have been exploring and using taxa from this lineage for over 2000 years because of their beneficial properties. We have documented the medicinal uses of pteridophytes belonging to thirty different families. The lycophyte Selaginella sp. was shown in earlier studies to have multiple pharmacological activity, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antidiabetic, antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-Alzheimer properties. Among all the pteridophytes examined, taxa from the Pteridaceae, Polypodiaceae, and Adiantaceae exhibited significant medicinal activity. Based on our review, many pteridophytes have properties that could be used in alternative medicine for treatment of various human illnesses. Biotechnological tools can be used to preserve and even improve their bioactive molecules for the preparation of medicines against illness. Even though several studies have reported medicinal uses of ferns, the possible bioactive compounds of several pteridophytes have not been identified. Furthermore, their optimal dosage level and treatment strategies still need to be determined. Finally, the future direction of pteridophyte research is discussed.
