Research Progress on Chemical Constituents and Pharmacological Effects of Sappan lignum
Abstract:Sappan lignum is a traditional Chinese medicine with the effect of promoting blood circulation,reducing swelling and relieving pain.It is widely used in clinical practice.At present,about 120 kinds of compounds have been isolated and identified by the heartwood of S.lignum,and their main chemical components include original hematoxylin,brazilin,homoisoflavones,hematoxynes and diphenyls,which have strong anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties.Pharmacological activities such as anti-tumor,immunosuppression,antibacterial and vasodilation activities.Therefore,this paper systematically summarizes the research progress of the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of S.lignum to provide some useful references for further research and development of S.lignum.
