Natural products such as plants, animals and minerals have been the basis of treatment of human diseases. Herbal remedies have been used for the treatment of many ailments. Many compounds have been derived from the plant species mentioned in the ancient texts of Indian system of medicine for the treatment of a number of ailments. The R and D thrust in the pharmaceutical sector is focused on development of new drugs, innovative/indigenous processes for known drugs and development of plant based drugs through investigation of leads from the traditional systems of medicine. The family Simaroubaceae is grouped in the order Rutales, is known to have a diverse range of secondary metabolites. Plants from this family are used as medicine to cure cancer and many other diseases. Isolation of diverse chemical compounds from Simaroubaceae on its stem bark, root bark and leaves have been reported. In this review, we are analysing with the chemical constituents of family Simaroubaceae.
植物、动物和矿物等天然产物一直是治疗人类疾病的基础。草药疗法已被用于治疗多种疾病。许多化合物是从印度医学体系古代文献中提及的植物物种中提取出来用于治疗多种疾病的。制药行业的研发重点在于开发新药、已知药物的创新/本土生产工艺,以及通过研究传统医学体系中的线索来开发植物源药物。苦木科属于芸香目,已知含有多种次生代谢产物。该科植物被用作治疗癌症和许多其他疾病的药物。已有报道从苦木科植物的茎皮、根皮和叶子中分离出多种化合物。在本综述中,我们将分析苦木科的化学成分。
