perennial herbaceous plant, widely known in European herbal

are very important active compounds of the Lady’s mantle, among which agrimoniin,
laevigatin F and pedunculagin are the major ones. With respect to the
high amount and diversity of phenolic compounds, this plant species offers a
great potential for the variety of biological activities. Some of the relevant information

which are reported in the literature until now, are given within this short review.
