两色金鸡菊的化学成分和药理作用研究进展

两色金鸡菊Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt.为菊科金鸡属植物,原产于北美,在我国新疆昆仑山区被发现并在当地作为茶饮用,至今有十多年的历史。两色金鸡菊含有的化学成分主要为黄酮类、皂苷类、有机酸、鞣质、糖类、挥发油或油脂类和酚性成分。研究表明两色金鸡菊具有降血糖、抗氧化、降血压、降血脂等药理活性,有潜在的药用价值。综述近年来两色金鸡菊的化学成分和药理作用,为其进一步研究开发利用提供参考。

Research progress on the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of Coreopsis tinctoria

Coreopsis tinctoria, the plant of Coreopsis L., Compositae, was first distributed in North America, and was described in Kunlun Mountain regions, Xinjiang, China, and has been used as herbal tea for more than ten years. The main chemical constituents separated from C. tinctoria mainly consist of flavonoids, saponins, organic acids, tannins, saccharides, essential oils, and phenolic compounds. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that C. tinctoria has hypoglycemic, anti-oxidative, hypotensive, hypolipidemic activities, etc., and these results indicate potential medicinal value of this material. The recent research progress on the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of C. tinctoria are reviewed in this paper, which could provide references for the further utilization of the plant.
