Arachis hypogaea , known as the peanut, is native to South America. Peanut contains several active components including flavonoids, phenolic acids, phytosterols, alkaloids, and stilbenes. Some therapeutic effects have been reported for peanut seed extracts, such as antioxidative, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory activities. This paper aims to give an overview of the chemical composition, focusing on secondary metabolites, and of the biological activity of A. hypogaea, to stimulate new studies about species of the Arachis genus.
落花生，又称花生，原产于南美洲。花生含有几种活性成分，包括类黄酮、酚酸、植物固醇、生物碱和芪类。花生种子提取物具有一些治疗作用，如抗氧化、抗菌、抗真菌和抗炎活性。本文旨在概述落花生的化学成分，重点是次生代谢物，以及落花生的生物活性，以激发对落花生属植物的新研究。
