Chemical constituents of Asterias amurensis: An advance / 第二军医大学学报

The chemical constituents of starfish Asterias amurensis have been extensively studied in China. Some unique and new chemical constituents have been isolated from Asterias amurensis ; they included saponins, sulfated sterols, amyloses, steroids, amino acids, etc. Many of them have anti-bacterial activities and hemolysis effects. We reviewed the related literatures published home and abroad, hoping to provide more evidence for further development of Asterias amurensis.
