摘要: Gentiana rhodantha Franch. ex Hemsl. (G. rhodantha) is a perennial herb distributed in southwest China, belonging to the Gentiana genus of Gentianaceae family. Previous research indicated that G. rhodantha contains flavonoids, anthraquinones, terpenes and other compounds, which possess the effects of antioxidant, antibacterial, and antitumor. Besides, its dry herb is used as antiphlogistic and antitussive remedy for the treatment of lung, liver, and gallbladder diseases. This review outlines the chemical constituents and biological activities of G. rhodantha, which will be useful for the further research on this plant.
