太白楤木的化学成分及药理作用研究进展

Research progress in chemical constituents in Aralia taibaiensis and their pharmacological effects

太白楤木,特产于我国中西部秦巴山区及其余脉,有丰富的野生资源,是一种极具开发潜力的药用植物。研究发现太白楤木主要含有皂苷类、黄酮类、多糖类、挥发油类以及微量元素等活性成分。药理研究发现其具有抗氧化,降血糖,降血脂,保护脑、心脏、肝脏,抗衰老,抗菌,抗病毒以及抗肿瘤等作用。本文通过对太白楤木的化学成分和药理作用的研究进展进行综述,以期为太白楤木的研究开发提供参考依据。

Aralia taibaiensis is widely distributed in the Qinba mountains and flows of Western China with rich wildlife resources. As a medical plant, it has great exploitation potential. From the phytochemical view, the active constituents of Aralia taibaiensis mainly contain saponins, flavonoids and polysaccharide, volatile oil, trace elements, etc. The pharmacological research mainly focuses on its antioxidant effect, lowering the blood glucose and lipid levels, protecting the brain, the heart and the liver, as well as anti-aging, anti-bacterial, anti-virus and anti-tumor effects. This present paper systematically summarizes the previously phytochemistry and biological activities of Aralia taibaiensis, and provides reference for the research and exploitation of this medical plant.
