Research progress on carbazole alkaloids from plants of Clausena Burm.f / 中草药

ABSTRACT

The genus Clausena Burm.f. (family Rutaceae) concerns 25 species all over the world, and 13 species are native to China especially in the southwest and south of China, Yunnan Province has 11 species. The chemical composition from Clausena Burm.f. included carbazole alkaloids, coumarins, sesquiterpenes, benzene derivatives, tetranortriterpenoids, flavonoids and so on. The carbazole alkaloids have attracted much attention in recent years. The recent research progress on carbazole alkaloids from Clausena Burm.f. was reviewed in this paper about the structures, isolation, structure elucidation, and biological activities.
