Cycloartenol, a phytosterol compound, also one of the key precusor substances for biosynthesis of numerous sterol compounds, has a variety of pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antioxidant, antibiosis and anti-alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, cycloartenol also plays an important role in the process of plant growth and development. This article reviewed the research progress on cycloartenol pharmacological activity in domestic and foreign articles, and summarized the effect of cycloartenol and "cycloartenol pathway" on the plant growth and development, laying foundation for the its further study, development and utilization.
环阿屯醇是一种植物甾醇化合物，也是众多甾醇化合物生物合成的关键前体物质之一，具有抗炎、抗肿瘤、抗氧化、抗菌和抗阿尔茨海默病等多种药理活性。此外，环阿屯醇在植物生长发育过程中也起着重要作用。本文综述了国内外文献中环阿屯醇药理活性的研究进展，总结了环阿屯醇及“环阿屯醇途径”对植物生长发育的影响，为其进一步研究、开发和利用奠定基础。
