Cryptocarya (the laurel family) is a large genus of great economic plants found in tropics and subtropics. Plants of this genus are a rich resource of essential oils, and pharmacological compounds. An overview of phytochemistry and pharmacological aspect is not yet available. This review aims to establish insightful information on phytochemistry, and pharmacological values. The literature collection is based on keywords 'Cryptocarya', 'phytochemistry', and 'pharmacology' using a broad panel of scientific sources, such as Google Scholar, Sciencedirect, and Wiley. Since the 1950s, Cryptocarya plants have been the main object in various phytochemical studies, by which about 390 metabolite compounds were isolated. Alkaloids, α-pyrones, and flavonoids could be seen as the main classes of Cryptocarya isolates. Cryptocarya constituents displayed potential pharmacological values such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidative, antiviral, vasorelaxant activities, especially cytotoxicity.
樟科(月桂科)是一个大型属,包含大量分布于热带和亚热带的经济植物。该属植物富含精油和药理学化合物。目前尚未对其植物化学和药理学方面进行综述。本文旨在概述樟科植物的植物化学和药理学价值。文献收集基于关键词“Cryptocarya”、“phytochemistry”和“pharmacology”,利用 Google Scholar、Sciencedirect 和 Wiley 等广泛的科学资源。自 20 世纪 50 年代以来,樟科植物一直是各种植物化学研究的主要对象,从中分离出约 390 种代谢产物。生物碱、α-吡喃酮和黄酮类化合物可以被视为樟科植物分离物的主要类别。樟科植物成分具有潜在的药理学价值,如抗炎、抗菌、抗氧化、抗病毒、血管舒张活性,特别是细胞毒性。
