白姜花化学成分及其生物和药理活性研究进展

Review on chemical constituents of Hedychium coronarium J.Koenig and their biological and pharmacological activities

白姜花(Hedychium coronarium J. Koenig)为我国岭南地区的特色花卉,主要作切花用.白姜花的根茎还是我国的传统民间药物,主治风寒表证、风温痹痛、外感头痛、身痛、风湿痛、脘腹冷痛、跌打损伤等,但主要限于南方有白姜花分布和栽培的区域使用.近十年来,国外对白姜花化学成分及其生物活性研究十分活跃,成果丰富.为提高白姜花的综合利用效率,作者对白姜花的化学成分及生物活性研究进展进行了综述,并对其临床应用进行了展望.

Hedychium coronarium J. Koenig is a characteristic flower of Lingnan area and is mainly used as cut-flower at home. And its rhizomes have been used as traditional folk medicine, which can cure many diseases including cold, headache, bodily pain, rheumatism, traumatic injury and so on. However, H. coronarium only distributes and is cultivated in the southern part of the country. Researchers from other countries studied its chemical constituents and biological activities, and reported plenty of results over the past decade. So the author classified and summarized the chemical constituents and their biological activities in order to comprehensively utilize the resources more efficiently, and forecasted the clinical applications.
