Advances in study on chemical and biological activity of Xanthoceras sorbifolia

Xanthoceras sorbifolia is one of rare and precious woody oil crops in China, which has been paid extensive attention in recent years for the use in green, edible, medicinal, and making bio-fuel purpose. Its nut, peel, branch, and leaves are rich in many kinds of chemical compositions, such as triterpenes, flavonoids, coumarins, sterols, and so on. Modern medicinal research shows that X. sorbifolia has the pharmacological and biological activity of anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, inhibiting HIV protease, and improving learning in mind. This article is based on the chemical composition in different medicinal parts of X. sorbifolia, biological activity, and the detection method.
