Abstract

Covering: January 2005 to December 2007. Previous review: Nat. Prod. Rep., 2007, 24, 417–464

This account describes more than 145 new isoflavonoids published between 2005 and 2007 as constituents of the Leguminosae, commenting on their source, identification, biological activity, synthesis, and ecological or chemosystematic significance. New applications of hyphenated analytical techniques for the characterisation of Leguminosae isoflavonoids are also reviewed, together with advances in biosynthetic studies. A checklist of new compounds by species is given, and 170 references are cited.
