Abstract:
Callicarpa nudiflora is the genuine medicinal material in Hainan province, and is successfully approved as a new variety in Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2015. Based on a detailed investigation on the literature reports at home and abroad from 1996 to 2016, we have found that the principal chemical constituents were recognized as phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, triterpenoids, diterpenoids, iridoids, sterols, etc. The biological activities of chemical constituents from C. nudiflora were mainly studied on the hemostasis, anti-inflammation, anti-bacterial, immune-strengthening, and cytotoxic activities. The present paper systematically summarized the previously phytochemical work of C. nudiflora, and the biological activities were also reviewed briefly. The current paper provides the references for the further quality control, pharmacological action study, and utilization of this medicinal plant.
