Background: The first monograph of the genus Viguiera was published in 1918 by Blake, including about 141 species. Schilling & Panero based on studies of molecular sequences of nuclear Internal Transcribed Spacer and External Transcribed Spacer, as well as cpDNA, proposed to reclassify the genus, relocating its species in at least other nine genera. Question: Is it possible to identify distinctive patterns between the species of the new classification of Viguiera s. l. and the results of the chemical studies reported? Species considered: Sixty-seven species within the wide Viguiera circumscription with chemical studies and biological activities reported. Results: The species of the genus Viguiera synthesize terpenoids represented mainly by sesquiterpene lactones and diterpenes, with triterpenes, polyacetylenes, volatile terpenoids and flavonoids also present. The main types of secondary metabolites were present in the studied species, although some compounds were more frequent than others in some clades. Conclusion: Germacrolides, heliangolides, furanoheliangolides, tetracyclic diterpenes and flavonoids are the main constituents of Viguiera and segregated genera. Some interesting chemotaxonomic relationships are noted. Nevertheless, nondistinctive clear patterns were observed between clades and chemical groups. These results may be a consequence of the reported chemical studies of the species of Viguiera s. l., which have not agreed on objetives or methodologies.
