The genus Litsea Lam. (Lauraceae) and Lepisanthes Blume (Sapindaceae) are wildly distributed in Vietnam, especially in the mountainous areas. The reports in the literatures indicated that these two genus contain many constituents with interesting structures and potential biological activities. In order to find interesting substances for development of new pharmaceutical ingredients or functional food products we would like to conduct the resarch thesis ‘‘Study on Chemical constituents and biological activities of Litsea glutinosa (Lour.) Rob. (Lauraceae) and Lepisanthes rubiginosa (Roxb.) (Sapindaceae) in Viet Nam. | Summary of the Doctoral thesis: Study on chemical constituents and biological activities of litsea glutinosa (lour). C. B. Rob. (lauraceae) and lepisanthes rubiginosa (roxb.) Leenh. (sapindaceae) in Viet Nam
