Research Progress on Chemical Constituents and Biological Activity of Vaccinium dunalianum Wight
This paper summarized the chemical components isolated from Vaccinium dunalianum Wight,mainly including arbutin derivatives,glycosides,and phenolic acid compounds.The extraction methods and quantitative analysis of main active ingredients were introduced.The biological activities of the chemical constituents in V.dunalianum such as antioxidant,melanogenesis production and tyrosinase activity inhibition,anti-inflammatory,liver protection,lipid-lowering,anti-thrombus,reducing blood sugar,antiviral,and prevention and treatment of grey mold in fruit and vegetable were summarized.The potential for the development and application of V.dunalianum in the fields of health care products,cosmetics,pharmaceuticals,and preservation of fruits and vegetables were discussed,and the future research direction was also prospected to provide a reference for the in-depth research and sustainable utilization of V.dunalianum.
