Advances in the Study of Natural Active Ingredients and Their Pharmacological Activities of Ilex cornuta
Ilex cornuta belongs to the holly family,and all of its parts—roots,stems,leaves and fruits are pharmacologically active.These parts primarily contain polysaccharides,triterpenes,flavonoids,and other chemical components that have a variety of pharmacological effects,including anti-tumor,anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory ones.The study reviewed the overview of the research on the active components and their corresponding pharmacological activities in Ilex comuta in recent years and then provided a reference basis for the further development of Ilex cornuta resources through the analysis of the active components and existing pharmacological activities of Ilex cornuta.
