Research advance on chemical constituents and biological activities from Desmodium plants of Leguminosae
Desmodium plants of Leguminosae are widely distributed and diverse in China.Most species were exten-sively used in folk with its therapeutic effect was widely used in traditional Chinese medicine.The main chemical constituents from plants of the Desmodium include flavonoids,alkaloids,terpenoids,volatile oils compounds.It has anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,antibacterial,scavenging oxygen free radicals in the body,liver protection,analgesic and other biological activities.We reviewed the chemical components and biological activities of the plants of the Desmodium,including D.styracifolium,D.caudatum,D.multiflorum,D.triflorum,D.microphyllum,D.gangeticum,D.renifolium Schindl,D.obiongum,D.heterocarpon,et al.With the purpose of providing theoretical basis for further research.
