盐肤木属植物研究进展

盐肤木属植物是一类很重要的资源植物,具有很大的科学研究和资源开发潜力,在许多国家都长久的应用于各种疾病的治疗和预防;具有很高的药用价值;也具有十分广泛的工业应用,和具有很高的经济价值。且盐肤木R. chinensis 的虫瘿俗称"五倍子",是一种化工原料和药用原料。为了对盐肤木属植物的进一步研究开发提供参考,通过检索国内外相关参考文献,从植物种类和分布、化学成分、药理活性、临床应用等方面,归纳了盐肤木属植的国内外研究进展。盐肤木属植物中分离得到的化合物主要包括三萜类、 黄酮类、鞣质与酚酸类等;药理活性方面的报道集中在以抗HIV病毒为主的抗病毒活性为主,同时也有关于抗肿瘤、抗腹泻、抗炎、抗龋齿和保肝等其他活性的研究报道,其活性方面的研究还具有很大的空间。结果对深入开展盐肤木属植物的研究和对药用资源的开发、利用和保护有重要意义。

Research Progress in Rhus

Rhus genus has great potential for scientific research and resource development. It has long been used in the treatment and prevention of various diseases in many countries. The wide industrial applications and economic value prove the importance of the research on Rhus genus plants. We summarized the research progress of Rhus genus plants in chemical constituents and pharmaceutical activities by retrieving literatures at home and abroad. The compounds isolated from Rhus plants, mostly include triterpenes and their glycosides, flavonoids and their glycosides, and a small number of phenolic acids. The compounds from Rhus genus plants have various pharmacological activities, such as antiviral (anti-HIV activity), anticancer, antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatoryl, preventing decayed tooth, hepatopotective, etc. To carry out the studies related to Rhus genus plants is of great significance for discovering and developing new medicines and new medicinal resources.
