Research progress on chemical constituents from Kadsura genus and its pharmacological activities and clinical application
The 29 plant species in the Kadsura genus of the Schisandraceae family are mainly distributed in eastern and southeas-tern Asia.Ten species of plants in this genus are distributed in China,some of which are folk medicinal plants with activating blood circulation,relieving pain,dispelling wind,and dehumidifying effects.Their main constituents are lignans and triterpenes.The cur-rent pharmacology and clinical studies have shown that their extracts and constituents have anti-rheumatoid arthritis,liver protection,antioxidation,anti-inflammatory,and other biological activities.The rheumatologic and liver diseases can also be treated with the plants in the clinic.The new chemical constituents reported in the last decade(2012 to date)from the plants of Kadsura genus in Chi-na,as well as their pharmacological effects and clinical applications in recent years were reviewed,so as to provide a theoretical basis for further research on the genus.
