One type of the mainly active metabolites found in the Artemisia plants is sesquiterpenoids with extensive biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-tumour, antimalarial, antinociceptive, antimierobial and other activities. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the progress concerning the phytochemistry and biological activities of sesquiterpenoids obtained from the Artemisia species from 2010 to July 2016. Furthermore, several future research perspectives and development of sesquiterpenoids as potential therapeutic agents were discussed as well.展开更多
