Research Progress on the Chemical Compositions,Pharmacological Effects,and Toxicity of Stellera Chamaejasme
Objective To investigate the chemical compositions,pharmacological effects,and toxicity of Stellera chamaejasme,and to provide a reference for its development and utilization.Methods By consulting relevant literature at home and abroad,the chemical composition,pharmacological effects,toxicity,and detoxification processing methods of Stellera chamaejasme were summarized.Results The chemical compositions in Stellera chamaejasme are diverse,mainly including terpenes,lignans,flavonoids,coumarins,etc.The pharmacological effects mainly include anti-cancer,anti-bacterial,anti-oxidant,anti-inflammatory,anti-allergic,anti-dermatitis,neuroprotective,and inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity.The whole plant has hepatotoxicity,which can be reduced in toxicity and increased in efficacy through processing such as vinegar and alcohol.Conclusion The chemical compositions in Stellera chamaejasme are various and have multiple pharmacological effects.Specific processing methods can reduce its toxicity.
