Abstract

Capsicum frutescens is a species of the Solanaceae family of the genus Capsicum, which has around 20 species, five of which are regularly cultivated: “Capsicum annuum, Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum chinense, Capsicum frutescens, and Capsicum pubescens.” Since ancient times, C. frutescens has been used to taste and colour food all throughout the world. However, it is also employed for its medical benefits by many civilizations all over the world. This prompted researchers to concentrate on its chemical components, which led to a number of studies. The components isolated from C. frutescens such as capsaicinoids, carotenoids, and saponins authenticated its antibacterial, antidiabetic, anti-fungal, cardiovascular, thrombolytic, anti-cancer, and anti-oxidant activities along with a few more through various studies. This review focuses on all the pharmacological properties of these components highlighting the significance of Capsicum frutescens in herbal medicine.
辣椒的最新研究进展:药理潜力综述
辣椒(Capsicum frutescens)是茄科辣椒属的一种,该属大约有20种,其中5种是常规种植的:“辣椒(Capsicum annuum)、辣椒(Capsicum bacaccatum)、辣椒(Capsicum chinense)、辣椒(Capsicum frutescens)和辣椒(Capsicum pubescens)。”自古以来,世界各地的人都用果霉来品尝食物并给食物上色。然而,它也因其医疗效益而被世界上许多文明所采用。这促使研究人员将注意力集中在它的化学成分上,从而引发了一系列研究。从香果中分离得到的辣椒素、类胡萝卜素、皂苷等成分经各种研究证实其具有抗菌、抗糖尿病、抗真菌、心血管、溶栓、抗癌、抗氧化等多种活性。本文对这些成分的药理作用进行了综述,强调了辣椒在中草药中的重要意义。
