檵木属植物主要功能成分研究进展

Advances in Main Functional Components of Loropetalum Plants

综述了檵木属植物的植物学特征、生物学特征、分类及其主要功能成分黄酮类化合物、没食子酸和鞣质的研究进展。各种研究表明,檵木属植物的黄酮类化合物、没食子酸和鞣质成份有良好的药用价值,如,黄酮类化合物如甘草总黄酮提取物能降低高血脂的发病率,黄酮单体对金葡萄球菌、枯草杆菌、真菌等有很好的抑制作用;没食子酸可以抑制鸟苷酸脱羧酶(ODC)的促癌作用,能直接杀伤肿瘤细胞,还能抑制肿瘤血管的生长;鞣质具有广泛的药理活性,如保护消化器,治疗胃肠道出血,溃疡和水泻等。并对檵木属植物今后的研究方向进行了展望。

It summarized the botanical characteristics,the biological characteristics and the classification of Loropetalum plants,as well as the advances in main functional components of it,such as flavonoids,gallic acid and tannin.Each study indicated that the flavonoids,gallic acid and tannin in Loropetalum plants have great medicinal value,for instance,the flavonoids such as total flavonoids extracted from liquorice can reduce the incidence of hyperlipidemia,flavone monomer can greatly inhibit Staphylococcus aureus,Bacillus subtilis and fungi;gallic acid can inhibit the cancer-promoting action of ODC,can directly injure tumour cell,and also can inhibit the growth of tumour vessel;tannin has widely pharmacological activity,such as protecting digestive apparatus and treating gastrointestinal bleeding,ulcer and watery diarrhea.Moreover,it prospects the studying direction in the future.
