Bioactive constituents of some plant species from the mountain Galicica

Abstract

Between 2008 and 2010 the pharmacognostic investigation of phytomedicinal potential of the species inhabiting mt. Galičica was organized by the Galičica National Park (GNP) through the KFW project entitled ”Support to Galičica National Park”. In the search for biologically active and new compounds, the project included the targeted collection of wild-growing mostly endemic plants growing on mt. Galičica. The choice of plants was based on chemotaxonomic and ethnomedicinal information of the corresponding genera. The phytochemical investigation of these species is presented in this lecture.
