Abstract:
Ligustrum lucidum can be used as immunomodulatory and to treat acute hepatitides and chronic hepatitis, and has many other bioactivities such as anti-aging activity, decreasing the level of the blood sugar, anti-inflammatory activity and anti-tumor activity. The chemical constituents of its fruits include pentacyclic triterpenoid, dammarane tetracyclic triterpenoids, flavones, secoiridoids, phenolic glucosides, and other components such as polysaccharide, amino acid, fatty acid, volatile components, pigment, microelement, and so on. This paper summarizes the research advances on the chemical constitutents of Ligustrum lucidum and the structure-activity relationship.
