Almost 80% of the approved drugs and 67% of the clinical-trial drugs concentrated in 17 and 30 drug-prolific families, respectively, including Fabid and Malvid groups of the Rosidae subclass, the Lamiid and Campanulid groups of the
Asterid subclass, and the Ranunculales order [24].
A morphological matrix (Table 6) based on the
asterid taxa used by Bremer et al.
Bremer, "Molecular phylogenetic dating of
asterid flowering plants shows early cretaceous diversification," Systematic Biology, vol.
Plantains (Plantago L.) are widely distributed herbs and shrubs from the
asterid family Plantaginaeae.
CPT is produced by several plant species belonging to the
Asterid clade.
Tranchant-Dubreuil et al., "Ancestral synteny shared between distantly-related plant species from the
asterid (Coffea canephora and Solanum Sp.) and rosid (Vitis vinifera) clades" BMC Genomics, vol.
The fact that nearly all other species of Austromirini are found on dicot angiosperms (mostly rosid and
asterid flowering plants) suggests that grass affiliation is likely a host switching event.

At least some families even in the most recently derived of the plant clades used in this analysis date to this time, such as, Urticaceae (a member of Rosid 1 in Chase et al., 1993): 90 M.Y.B.P., Rutaceae (Rosid 2): 52 M.Y.B.P., Apiaceae (
Asterid 2): 52 M.Y.B.P., Apocynaceae (
Asterid 1): 60 M.Y.B.P.
Such divergent clades might have been lost with the evolution of Arabidopsis lineage or gained along with the development o[micro]lineages of rosid and
asterid. The subgroups which are closer show that the genes have originated from the same duplication event.
Both orbicule presence and absence is recorded from the earliest diverging flowering plants up to most recent diversified
asterid clades.
However, recently, following the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III classification, Larsson (2007) showed that the distribution of CPT in plants is restricted to the
Asterid group members only.
