Abstract:
Illicium verum Hook. F., also known as star anise, is one of the most important plants of the genus Anise in the family Magnoliaceae. I. verum not only has the functions of warming Yang, dispersing cold, regulating Qi and relieving pain but can also be used as a condiment to increase flavor as well as reconcile and remove fish smells. Currently, 201 chemical constituents have been identified from star anise; among these, star anise oil and shikimic acid are the two most widely used and studied chemical components in star anise, with the oil accounting for a large proportion of the total. This review integrates, classifies and updates studies related to the botany, pharmacology, phytochemistry, traditional and modern uses and quality control of star anise, with a special reference to its phytochemical composition and pharmacological activity. It will provide a reference for further research on this important medicinal plant. In addition, the broad applications and research profiles of star anise essential oil and shikimic acid are highlighted. Our review indicates that the research prospects regarding star anise are very broad and worthy of further investigation.
摘要:
错峰钩.F.,也被称为八角,是木兰科中八角属最重要的植物之一。I.verum不仅具有温阳的功能,分散冷,调节气,缓解疼痛,但也可以用作调味品,以增加风味以及调和和去除鱼臭。目前,已从八角中鉴定出201种化学成分;其中,八角茴香油和莽草酸是八角茴香中使用和研究最广泛的两种化学成分,石油占总量的很大比例。这篇综述整合了,分类和更新与植物学相关的研究,药理学,植物化学,八角的传统和现代用途以及质量控制,特别提到其植物化学成分和药理活性。为该重要药用植物的进一步研究提供参考。此外,重点介绍了八角精油和莽草酸的广泛应用和研究概况。我们的评论表明,有关八角的研究前景非常广阔,值得进一步研究。
