Abstract

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is an important cash crop widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions. In addition to being the main raw material for sugar and ethanol production, it is rich in a wide range of bioactive compounds with remarkable chemical diversity and biological activity. In recent years, sugarcane research has gradually increased due to the increased interest in natural medicines and functional foods. This paper reviews the chemical constituents and their potential bioactivities of sugarcane. These include flavonoids, flavonoid carbonyl glycosides, flavonols, dihydroflavonoids, dihydroflavonols, chalcones and flavanols. China's traditional Chinese medicine resources are facing serious problems in terms of sustainable development, causing a shortage aggravated by changes in the natural environment and species composition as well as uncontrolled human harvesting. Therefore, it is of great significance for the maintenance and development of traditional Chinese medicine resources to study such resources, which have medicinal value and crop potential, and discover new uses for them. In this review, we discuss the chemical composition of sugarcane and its potential bioactivities, explore its applications in the field of medicine and look for the direction of future research.

甘蔗化学成分与生物活性研究进展：潜在药用价值与可持续发展。

甘蔗（Saccharum spp.）是一种重要的经济作物，广泛种植于热带和亚热带地区。除了作为制糖和乙醇生产的主要原料外，它还富含多种生物活性化合物，具有显著的化学多样性和生物活性。近年来，由于人们对天然药物和功能食品的兴趣日益浓厚，对甘蔗的研究逐渐增多。本文综述了甘蔗的化学成分及其潜在的生物活性。这些包括类黄酮、类黄酮羰基苷、类黄酮醇、二氢类黄酮、二氢类黄酮醇、查尔酮和黄烷醇。中国的中药资源在可持续发展方面面临着严重的问题，由于自然环境和物种组成的变化以及不受控制的人类采伐，导致资源短缺加剧。因此，研究具有药用价值和作物潜力的中药资源，发现其新用途，对维护和开发中药资源具有重要意义。本文综述了甘蔗的化学成分及其潜在的生物活性，探讨了其在医学领域的应用，并展望了未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍： Physiologia Plantarum is an international journal committed to publishing the best full-length original research papers that advance our understanding of primary mechanisms of plant development, growth and productivity as well as plant interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment. All organisational levels of experimental plant biology – from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics to ecophysiology and global change biology – fall within the scope of the journal. The content is distributed between 5 main subject areas supervised by Subject Editors specialised in the respective domain: (1) biochemistry and metabolism, (2) ecophysiology, stress and adaptation, (3) uptake, transport and assimilation, (4) development, growth and differentiation, (5) photobiology and photosynthesis.
