摘要
In this paper,the advances in study on triterpenoids in Trichosanthes,Hemsleya,Gynostemma,Actinostemma and Siraitia Merr. plants were reviewed.Terpenoids are the main secondary metabolites of Cucurbitaceae and have obvious pharmacological activity. It is noteworthy that in these plants,there are a variety of triterpenoids,which are diverse in structure. Triterpenoid saponins have greater potential for development.
