药用金钮扣属植物研究综述

植物药在人类的医学实践中已有上千年的应用历史,特别是在亚洲的一些国家,植物药用资源被认为是一种可以随时取用的宝贵的医疗保健资源。印度拥有众多种类的药用植物,然而,其中很大一部分传统药用植物并没有被开发使用或未被现代医学科学研究证明其功效。因此,目前很有必要开发传统药用植物并使其最大限度地造福人类。本篇综述总结报道了一种很有潜力的药用植物即金钮扣属植物。过去几年中,很多从这类植物中提取的新化合物及其功效已经得到证实,因此本文旨在总结最新的有关金钮扣属植物的植物化学及民族药物学应用、药理学作用及物种保护方法的科学研究报道。

An updated review on medicinal herb genus Spilanthes

Herbal medicine has been used in medical practice for thousands of years and recognized especially as a valuable and readily available resource for healthcare in Asian nations.India is a vast repository of medicinal plants that can be developed as a safe and economical system of medicine for the treatment of various ailments.Unfortunately,most of the traditionally used medicinal plants are yet unexplored or have not been fully examined by modern medical science.Therefore,exploring traditionally reported medicinal plants to leverage their potential for the betterment of human health is of great importance.The present review examines a promising medicinal plant genus Spilanthes. In recent years,many new compounds and activities of this plant genus have been established.The present review therefore,aims to compile up-to-date and comprehensive information of genus Spilanthes with special emphasis on phytochemical and ethnomedical uses,scientifically documented pharmacological activities and tissue culture methods for conservation.
