Abstract:
The plants of genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. are distributed widely in China, and some of them are used as traditional medicinal plants. Lignans and triterpenoids are considered to be the main chemical constituents which exhibit the anti-cancer and anti-HIV activities in the recent studies. In this paper, chemical constituents in the plants of Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. and their pharmacological activities are reviewed, which provides the evidence for further development and use for the plants of Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss.
