Abstract
Abstract
—The review summarizes data on the chemical composition and some features of biological activity of Viscum album L. (Viscaceae Batsch). Among the secondary metabolites, the dominant ones are: viscotoxins, lectins, carbohydrates, amino acids, flavonoids, triterpene acids, nitrogenous compounds. It has been shown that European mistletoe extracts, as well as individual components, exhibit various types of biological activity, including antitumor, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, and improve cognitive functions. V. album is very promising for further comprehensive study as a local source of herbal preparations, as mistletoe preparations are prescribed as an adjunct treatment for cancer patients in many countries.
