Abstract:
Trib. Lorantheae used as traditional Chinese materia medica has a long history. There are 41 genera of Trib. Lorantheae， of which 6 belong to China， all have medicinal value， mainly distributed in Southwest， Southern， and Central and Southern China， with abundant resources. Twenty-two species of Trib. Lorantheae are used as medicinal materials or herbs in China. It mainly includes Taxillus. chinensis， T. sutchuenensis， Scurrula parasitica， Loranthus tanakae， Dendrophthoe pentandra， S. ferruginea， etc.， of which T. chinensis is the most widely used. The main chemical components of Trib. Lorantheae include flavonoids， terpenoids， sterols， phenylpropanoids， curcumins， phenolic acids， violate oils， sugars， and other compounds. Modern studies show that the extracts and monomer compounds of Trib. Lorantheae have various pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammation， anti-tumor， anti-oxidation， anti-osteoporosis， bacteriostasis， anti-virus， and lowering blood sugar， blood pressure， and lipid. It is believe that most active components related to their pharmacological effects are flavonoids， most of which are the main pharmacodynamic substances of the parasitic plants of Trib. Lorantheae， playing an important role in anti-inflammation， anti-tumor， anti-oxidation， anti-osteoporosis， and other pharmacological effect. This paper systematically summarized the literature and data on plants of Trib. Lorantheae and reviewed their chemical components and pharmacological effects， which provided references for the research， development， and utilization of Trib. Lorantheae.
