Chemical Constituents of Bryophytes

Part of the book series: Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products ((POGRCHEM,volume 95))

Abstract

Most of the secondary metabolites found in liverworts are lipophilic mono-, sesqui-, and diterpenoids as well as small aromatic compounds. In recent years, several hundred additional new compounds of this type have been isolated from bryophytes and their structures elucidated (39, 40, 45).
