Description
Summary:<i>Orychophragmus violaceus</i> (L.) O. E. Schulz (Brassicaceae) is widely distributed and plentiful in China and has been widely used for its application in ornamental, oil, ecology, foraging, and food. Recent studies have revealed that the main components of <i>Orychophragmus violaceus</i> include flavonoids, alkaloids, phenylpropanoids, phenolic acids, terpenoids, etc., which have pharmacological activities such as antioxidation, antiradiation, antitumor, hepatic protection, antiferroptosis, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. In this paper, the nutritional value, chemical compositions, pharmacological activity, and application value of <i>Orychophragmus violaceus</i> are summarized by referring to the relevant domestic and international literature to provide a reference for further research, development, and utilization of <i>Orychophragmus violaceus</i> in the future.
