苦参化学成分研究进展

对苦参的化学成分进行分析和总结，为其资源的综合利用与开发提供参考。苦参化学研究主要集中在根部，成分类别包括生物碱、黄酮、三萜皂苷、木脂素、酚酸和少量的苯丙素类成分，其中已分离得到了41个生物碱和108个黄酮类化合物，但是对茎、叶、花、果等非药用部位的研究较少。对苦参地上部分开展深入化学研究有利于充分利用苦参资源。

Advance on Chemical Constituents in Sophora flavescens

To analyze and summarize the chemical constituents in Sophora flavescens, and provide some evidences for the comprehensive research and development of its resource. The previous literatures on the chemical constituents of S. flavescens were checked and then analyzed. The chemical studies were focused on the roots of this plant and the reported compounds mainly included alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoid saponins, lignans, phenolic acids, and etc. Among the isolated compounds, 41 alkaloids and 108 flavonoids were detailedly described and their structures were presented. However, few investigations were carried out on non-medicinal aerial parts of this plant, such as the stems, leaves, flowers, fruit and seeds. The further research on the aerial parts of S. flavescens is interest of the comprehensive development of plant resources.
