Abstract:
Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus is dry,mature fruits of magnolia plant Schisandra chinensis. In recent years,domestic and foreign scholars have made a lot of studies on active constituents of S. chinensis and pharmacological activities. This article systematically organizes the active constituents and pharmacological activities of S. chinensis. It was found that fruit,seeds,roots,stems and leaves of S. chinensis and other medicinal parts mainly contained lignans,volatile oils,triterpenoids,polysaccharides and flavonoids. And lignans were the main characteristic active ingredients of S. chinensis,triterpenoids,polysaccharides and volatile oils were the secondary active ingredients,and the activity of flavonoids had rarely been reported. According to the pharmacological study of S. chinensis,S. chinensis lignans had certain effects on the central nervous system,cardiovascular system,liver,kidney and reproductive system,with anti-oxidation,anti-tumor,anti-bacterial and anti-HIV effects. Other chemical components also had good pharmacological activities,but were less studied than lignans. With dual functions in medicine and food, it was widely used as a health product and medicine. This article systematically summarized the active constituents and pharmacological activities of S. chinensis,and provided an important reference and basis for the further development of the health product and medicine of S. chinensis in the future.
