摘要
综述了苦瓜皂甙的分子结构、理化性质、生理功能等的研究进展情况,并提出了对苦瓜皂甙的研究和开发中应注意的问题。化学研究表明,苦瓜皂甙主要属于四环三萜类葫芦素烷型皂甙,由皂甙元和低聚糖构成,已经提取分离出的有苦瓜皂甙A、B、F、G、I等成分。现代医学研究发现,苦瓜皂甙具有降血糖、抗氧化、提高免疫能力、降低胆固醇、抗肿瘤和抗艾滋病毒等生理功能。苦瓜皂甙具有多种生物学和药学性质,将广泛应用于食品、医药、化妆品和饲料等行业中,开发苦瓜皂甙具有广阔的前景。
The research progress on the molecular structure,physiochemical properties and physiological functions of momordicosides are reviewed. Some problems that we should pay attention to in the study on momordicosides are also mentioned. The chemical research on momordicosides shows that momordicosides is a kind of compounds with cucurbitanes-type tetracyclic triterpenoids. Modern medical studies showed that momordicosides had many physiological functions such as reducing blood sugar,enhancing immunity,anti-oxidity,anti-endotoxin,antitumor and anti-HIV. Because of its biological and pharmic character,momordicosides will be applied in food,medicine,cosmetic industry and so on.And it is a wide foreground to develop it.
