Phytochemical Profiling and Anti-Obesogenic Potential of <i>Scrophularia aestivalis</i> Griseb. (Scrophulariaceae).

ABSTRACT: Scrophularia aestivalis Griseb. is a Balkan endemic species whose phytochemical composition and medicinal properties have not been previously investigated. The therapeutic potential of Scrophularia species has attracted considerable attention, resulting in extensive studies on their chemical and pharmacological properties, with over 200 secondary metabolites identified to date. The present study aimed to explore the phytochemical composition of Bulgarian-origin S. aestivalis, including isolation and characterization of individual secondary metabolites. From methanol extract of the plant's aerial parts, aucubin, harpagide, 8-O-acetylharpagide, cis- and trans-harpagoside, 6-O-methyl catalpol, acylated derivatives of catalpol, and linarin were
