The current status of research on polyphenolic compounds in the berries of edible honeysuckle and their biological effects, including recommended utilization, are reviewed. The major classes of phenolic compounds in the blue berried honeysuckle are flavonols (quercetin, rutin, quercitrin) and flavanes (proanthocyanidins, catechins) and anthocyanins. Cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside are considered as major anthocyanidins in edible honeysuckle berries. Such a high level of antioxidant activity in the berries of different species of the genus Lonicera is especially due to the high level of polyphenolic compounds, especially anthocyanins. These berries seem to be prospective sources of health-supporting phytochemicals that exhibit beneficial anti-adherence and chemo-protective activities, thus they may provide protection against a number of chronic conditions, e.g., cancer, diabetes mellitus, tumour growth or cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
本文综述了食用金银花浆果中多酚类化合物的研究现状及其生物活性，包括推荐用途。蓝果金银花中的主要酚类化合物为黄酮醇（槲皮素、芦丁、槲皮苷）和黄烷醇（原花青素、儿茶素）以及花青素。矢车菊素-3-葡萄糖苷和矢车菊素-3-芦丁糖苷被认为是金银花浆果中的主要花青素。该属不同种金银花浆果具有如此高的抗氧化活性，主要是由于多酚类化合物，尤其是花青素的含量很高。这些浆果似乎是具有保健作用的植物化学物质的有前途的来源，具有有益的抗黏附和化学保护活性，因此它们可能对许多慢性疾病提供保护，例如癌症、糖尿病、肿瘤生长或心血管和神经退行性疾病。
