Abstract:
Gynostemma pentaphyllum belonged to the Cucurbitaceae family.It was also called theQi-Ye-Dan,licorice stem,Gong-Luo Guo-Di,and etc.It contained saponin,flavonoids,polysaccharides,terpenoids and other chemical compositions.Its pharmacological effects included cholesterol-lowering activity,antitumor activity,hypoglycemic activity,anti-aging and boost immunity.This paper reviewed the research progress on chemical constituents,pharmacological effects and in vivometabolism of gynostemma pentaphyllum,in order to provide a theoretical basis for its further research and development.
