12. Leonardo Santini (1904-1983), an Italian physician, carried out the first systematic studies on the clinical anti-inflammatory properties of H. italicum
13. Santini, L. Atti Soc. Lomb. Sci. Med. Biol. 1949, 5, 18). Santini summarized the results of almost two decades of clinical observation on H. italicum in a review article that appeared in 1952.(1) On the basis of these studies, extracts of various Helichrysum species were introduced to the Italian pharmaceutical market for the treatment of cough. The quality and origin of these extracts were questioned by L. Santini (personal communication of his son, Maurizio Santini, to G.A.), and they were eventually removed from the pharmaceutical market in the 1970s. H. italicum shows a remarkable infraspecific variation in its phytochemical profile, even without its various subspecies,(7) and we have found that several commercial samples of the plant are totally devoid of pyrone derivatives. It is therefore unsurprising that, in the lack of a proper standardization, the early Helichyrsum pharmaceutical products were doomed to failure
