Volatile oil from Litsea lancilimba Merr.: a review of its chemical structure and biological activity

Abstract

Abstract: Litsea lancilimba Merr. is a Cinnamomum plant of Lauraceae. Phytochemical investigations of the Litsea lancilimba Merr. have resulted in the isolation of Volatile oil, flavonoid glycosides, tannins, alkaloids, lignans, organic acids and so on. Studies have showed that volatile oil is the main chemical component. Recent trials have demonstrated the efficacy of Litsea lancilimba Merr. in strengthening the function of stomach. The fruits have also been demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory and bacteriostatic activities. This review deals mainly with the chemical structure and biological activities of Litsea lancilimba Merr. oil.
