More than 200 components have been identified as flavonoids, stilbenoids, which are the major constituents of this genus, and phenylpropanoids, terpenoids, alkaloids also have been isolated from this genus. Modern pharmacological studies suggest diverse pharmacological activities of the herbals from the genus, including anti-tumor, antiinflammatory, anti-virus, and anti-oxidant activities. This review summarized the update research progress on the chemical components and pharmacological effects of the Cragana genus.展开更多
