Research Progress on the Terpene Constituents and Pharmacological Effects of Swietenia mahogany
Swietenia mahagoni(L.)Jacq.is a Swietenia plant of Meliaceae.It is traditionally used to treat diabetes,malaria,diarrhea,and other diseases in India,Malaysia,and other countries.The terpene constituents and pharmacological effects of mahogany were retrieved from CNKI,PubMed,and other databases,and its research progress was reviewed.A total of 94 terpenoids,which are the main chemical components,were retrieved,and limonin is the main terpenoid.The main pharma-cological effects are hypoglycemic,antibacterial,antioxidant,platelet aggregation inhibition,insecticidal,antimalarial,anti-inflammatory,analgesic,hepatoprotective,cytotoxicity,etc.However,the material basis and mechanism of mahogany's pharmacological activity of mahogany needs to be further studied and demonstrated.This study provides a reference for fur-ther development and utilization of the medicinal value of this cultivar.
