- In recent years, hop, commonly known as the plant used for the production of beer, has attracted increasing interest in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Secondary me-tabolites found in hop, such as bitter acids, polyphenols or essen-tial oils, exhibit anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Moreover, numerous studies confirm estrogenic activ-ity, the ability to lower blood glucose levels and sedative effects of the plant. The paper discusses secondary metabolites in hops divided into groups depending on their chemical structure. Ad-ditionally, the biological activity of the metabolites is presented herein. The prospects of using hops for purposes other than brew-ing are also demonstrated.
