Abstract: Piper flaviflorum (P. flaviflorum), belonging to the Piper genus of Piperaceae family, is widely distributed in south-central Yunnan.

As a traditional medicine, P. flaviflorum has been used by the Dai people to treat dysmenorrhea and tinea. Phytochemical investigations of P. flaviflorum have resulted in the isolation of alkaloids, essential oils, glycosides and organic acid. Studies have shown that chemical constituents of P. flaviflorum have various pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, antifungal and anti-tumor effects. This paper reviewed the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of P. flaviflorum to provide practical and useful information for further research and development of this plant.
