Research progress on chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of pseudo phosphorous stem of Cremastra appendiculata / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Pseudo phosphorous stem of Cremastra appendiculata (Suanpanqi) is one of Shaanxi Qiyao with regional characteristics. As a clinical antitumor drug, it has been highly concerned in recent years. Suanpanqi mainly contains phenanthrene, dihydrophenanthrene, bibenzyl, flavonoids, terpenes, alkaloids, and other chemical components with antitumor, antibacterial, anti-angiogenic, antihypertensive, and other pharmacological activities. This paper systematically reviews the research progress on the chemical composition and pharmacological effects of Suanpanqi at home and abroad in order to provide a scientific basis of its efficitive material basis, so as to further promote the value of development and utilization of plant resources in China.
