Abstract: Ligularia, an important genus of the Compositae family, has captured the interest of natural product chemists for years. Phytochemical investigations on the title genus have led to isolation of hundreds of secondary metabolites with various skeletons. Herein, we summarized the chemical constituents of this genus and their biological activities over the past few decades.
