Taiwan is rich in lauraceous plants. A review of 197 references based on the chemical analysis and bioactivity of indigenous lauraceous plants carried out by native scientists from 1963 to 2014 has been compiled. About 303 new compounds and thousands of known compounds comprising alkaloids and non-alkaloids with diverse structures have been isolated or identified from indigenous plants belonging to the 11 lauraceous genera. The volatile components, however, have been excluded from this review. This review provides an overview of the past efforts of Taiwan scientists working on secondary metabolites and their bioactivity in native lauraceous plants. The potential of lauraceous plants worthy of further study is also noted. The contents will be helpful for the chemotaxonomy of Lauraceae and be of value for the development of native Formosan lauraceous plants.
台湾拥有丰富的樟科植物资源。本文综述了自 1963 年至 2014 年间，台湾本土科学家对本土樟科植物的化学成分和生物活性进行的 197 项研究，共分离或鉴定出 303 种新化合物和数千种已知化合物，包括生物碱和非生物碱，这些化合物具有多样的结构。然而，本综述并未包含挥发性成分。本文概述了台湾科学家在樟科植物次生代谢物及其生物活性方面的研究成果。此外，还指出了一些樟科植物具有进一步研究的潜力。本文内容将有助于樟科植物的化学分类，并为台湾樟科植物的开发利用提供参考。
