Abstract
Eleutherococcus giraldii (Harms) Nakai (EG, thereafter) is a perennial shrub, widely recognized for its medicinal properties. The stem bark of this plant is a widely used traditional Chinese herb with the effects of dispelling dampness, strengthening sinews and invigorating bones. Native to the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, EG is a prevalent Qiang medicine. It was included in the 2010 Edition of the Standard of Traditional Chinese Medicines of Sichuan Province. In the 1990s, numerous phytochemistry was carried out. Several chemical constituents have been identified, including saponins, lignans, alkali nucleosides, polysaccharides, alkanes, organic acids, and other compounds. Notably, glycosides and their glycosides with ivy saponins as ligands stand out among these constituents. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that the stem bark of Eleutherococcus giraldii (Harms) Nakai (EGSB, thereafter) has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-tumour, anti-oxidant, anti-ischemic and hepatoprotective effects. In addition to its stem bark being used in medicine, the young leaves of EG are the traditional food of the Qiang people, which has been developed into a tea product and pushed to the market. The prospect of industrialisation is good. This comprehensive review aims to explore the taxonomic status, botanical characteristics, traditional applications, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and quality control of EG. The primary focus is placed on phytochemical and pharmacological investigations.
期刊介绍：
Phytochemistry Reviews is the sole review journal encompassing all facets of phytochemistry. It publishes peer-reviewed papers in six issues annually, including topical issues often stemming from meetings organized by the Phytochemical Society of Europe. Additionally, the journal welcomes original review papers that contribute to advancing knowledge in various aspects of plant chemistry, function, biosynthesis, effects on plant and animal physiology, pathology, and their application in agriculture and industry. Invited meeting papers are supplemented with additional review papers, providing a comprehensive overview of the current status across all areas of phytochemistry.
