【 摘 要 】

This work reviewsthe current literature about the chemical constituents and the biological activitiesof the subtribe Lychnophorinae (Vernonieae, Asteraceae). The notable secondarymetabolites are sesquiterpene lactones of furanoheliangolide (goyazensolideand eremantholide types) and flavonoids. Some of its most investigated activitiesinclude its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities,specially for the Lychnophora and Eremanthus species. The datapresented on this paper not only displayed the role played by the Lychnophorinaespecies as a source of bioactive compounds, but also reinforced the need offurther studies involving the species of such subtribe.
