Abstract

Abstract: The genus Caragana is a member of the family of Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae and there are 62 species, 9 varieties, 12 deformations grown in China. More than 200 components have been identified as flavonoids, stilbenoids, which are the major constituents of this genus, and phenylpropanoids, terpenoids, alkaloids also have been isolated from this genus. Modern pharmacological studies suggest diverse pharmacological activities of the herbals from the genus, including anti-tumor, antiinflammatory, anti-virus, and anti-oxidant activities. This review summarized the update research progress on the chemical components and pharmacological effects of the Cragana genus.

Key words: Caragana, chemical components, pharmacological activities
