Abstract:
The revelant literatures about chemical constituents from the plant Bacopa monnieri and their pharmacological activities were consulted and summarized. The plant contains major chemical compounds including triterpenoids and their glycosides, flavonoids, phenylethanoid glycosides and sterols. It has the impact on central nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, respiratory system and endocrine system, in addition to anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-oxidation, hypoglycemic, antitumor, anti-microbial and liver and kidney protection and other pharmacological activities. This paper reviewed the chemical compositions and pharmacological activities, and provided a scientific basis for further research and development of the plant.
