| description | This paper is intended to review advances in the botanical, traditional uses, phytochemical and pharmacological studies of the Pulsatilla chinensis. Up to date, 68 kinds of chemical constituents have been isolated and identified from P. chinensis. Among these compounds, triterpenoids, flavonoids, lignans and coumarins are the major constituents. Researches about the pharmacological properties of P. chinensis revealed that this plant exhibited therapeutic potential both in vivo and in vitro, including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and antiviral activities. Further attention should be paid to gathering information about their toxicology data, quality-control measures, and the clinical value of the active compounds from P. chinensis. |
