Abstract:
The plants in genus Ypsilandra Franch (Liliaceae) have similar chemical constituents and pharmacological activities with Paris L., the major active ingredients of them are steroidal saponins, and their pharmacological effects include antibacterial, antitumor, and hemostasis. Therefore, Ypsilandra thibetica could replace Paris L. to some extent and alleviate its crisis. In this paper, the research progress of the current studies of Y. thibetica is summarized. It may provide the reference for the further studies of this plant.
