Study Advancement about Chemical Composition and Pharmacological Action of Clerodendron trichotomum

To summarize the research progress on chemical components and pharmacological actions of Clerodendron trichotomum and provide useful references for the further research.All papers about chemical components and pharmacological actions in CNKI,MEDLINE and CA databases etc were referred to and summarized.The chemical components isolated from C.trichotomum.include mainly essential oil,flavone,phenylpropanoids,glucoside and alkaloids;Pharmacological references show that it has depressurization,anti-inflammation,anti-oxidation,analgesia,mitigate,anti-cell multiplication and anti-HIV.The studies about big heteropolarity components which related with chemical and pharmacological have been reported more,however,the moderate and small heteropolarity components were researched lessly,we should carry out further studies on moderate and small heteropolarity components,to establish foundation for C.trichotomum' quality criteria and deep development.
