Abstract

Hellenia speciosa (H. speciosa) is not only recognized for its nutritional benefits, but is also revered as a traditional medicinal plant with diverse biological activities. H. speciosa is a perennial herb that is abundant in phytonutrients, including important nutrients such as proteins, amino acids, and vitamins, as well as potent bioactive components like steroids, terpenes, and volatile oils. Among them, steroids and terpenoids are the main bioactive components in H. speciosa, and they are also the two most abundant compounds in it. H. speciosa has a variety of pharmacological effects, such as anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial, which is consistent with its traditional use as a folk medicine. Based on its traditional uses, phytonutrients, and health benefits, H. speciosa is considered a valuable medicinal and edible plant. This review provides a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of recent advancements in research on H. speciosa, serving as a valuable reference for future investigations and rational exploitation of this plant.

Hellenia speciosa：关于传统应用、植物营养素、健康益处和安全性的全面综述

希腊芹（H. speciosa）不仅具有公认的营养价值，还被尊为具有多种生物活性的传统药用植物。茜草是一种多年生草本植物，含有丰富的植物营养素，包括蛋白质、氨基酸和维生素等重要营养成分，以及类固醇、萜烯和挥发油等强效生物活性成分。其中，类固醇和萜类化合物是 H. speciosa 的主要生物活性成分，也是其中含量最丰富的两种化合物。特异草具有多种药理作用，如消炎、抗糖尿病和抗菌等，这与其作为民间药物的传统用途是一致的。基于其传统用途、植物营养素和对健康的益处，辣木被认为是一种珍贵的药用和食用植物。这篇综述全面概述和批判性分析了最近关于 H. speciosa 的研究进展，为今后研究和合理利用这种植物提供了宝贵的参考。
