Abstract: Juglans mandshurica Maxim. is a fast growing deciduous tree that is widely distributed in China and Korea, belonging to Juglans genus of Juglandaceae family. The roots, stem barks, leaves and fruits of this plant had been used as a folk medicine for the treatment of cancer, gastritis, diarrhea and leucorrhoea. Phenols, naphthoquinones, naphthalenyl glucoside, tetralones, flavonoids, terpenoids, diarylheptanoids and galloyl glycosides were isolated from J. mandshurica. Researches demonstrated that the main chemical constituents of J. mandshurica have multiple activities and good development prospect. This paper is presented as a review centered on the main chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of J. mandshurica for the further research and development of this plant.
