    Liver cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. As the clinical treatment for this disease is not satisfactory, it is urgent to discover new medications to treat liver cancer. Elephantopus tomentosus L. is a traditional whole grass herb, which contains sesquiterpene lactones, triterpenoids, aldehyde caffeic with good anti-tumor effect. In this study, molecular docking and network analysis were carried out to identify the active compounds, and predict the potential targets of E. tomentosus for the treatment of liver cancer. These attempts may provide insights for finding novel lead compounds for the treatment of liver cancer.

    Tripterygium hypoglaucum (Levl.) Hutch. (THH), which belongs to Tripterygium genus of Celastraceae family, is widely used as the common Chinese herbal medicine. It has been reported that the chemical constituents of T. hypoglaucum include monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, diterpenoids, triterpenoids, sesquiterpene alkaloids, flavonoids, anthraquinone derivatives, et al. These compounds showed a wide range of bioactivities, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, immunosuppressive, anti-HIV, anti-fertility and insecticidal activities. In this paper, we summarized the chemical
    constituents and pharmacological activities of T. hypoglaucum to provide a reference for its further research and developement.

    摘要 ( 221 )   PDF(902KB) ( 268 )  
    Polygonum cuspidatum is a traditional Chinese medicine, and its medicinal part is dry rhizome. It is mainly used to treat damp heat jaundice, burns, carbuncle, ulcer poisoning, amenorrhea, and snake bite. Recent studies have found that P. cuspidatum also contains active ingredients against coronaviruses. This paper reviews the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of P. cuspidatum, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development and utilization of P. cuspidatum resources in the future.

    摘要 ( 229 )   PDF(1520KB) ( 383 )  
    The plants of the genus Schisandra of the Schisandraceae family include the genus Schisandra and the genus Kadsura. In recent years, many kinds of triterpenoids have been isolated from the plants of genus Schisandra. Triterpenoids have attracted the attention of phytochemists and pharmacologists because they have novel skeletons and good anti-HIV, immunosuppressive and anti-tumor activities. This study provides an overview of the triterpenoids from the genus Schisandra and their biological activities.
