Abstract

Juniperus recurva is a small tree or spreading shrub distributed from Afghanistan eastward through the Himalayas to southwest China. It is predominant in woodlands of the wetter areas of Himalayas (altitude of 1800 m to 3900 m), with moist and well-drained soils. It holds great potential as a medicinal plant. It has been traditionally used as anti-rheumatic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antitoxic, aphrodisiac, astringent, carminative, rubificant and stomachic. However, very few authentic pharmacological studies on medicinal benefits of this plant have been conducted thus far. In a first of its kind, we review this plant for its chemical constituents, pharmacological activity and medicinal benefits. Keeping in view its success record as a traditional medicine to cure different ailments, it would be of interest to look for various bioactive natural products that might have therapeutic potential.
刺柏植物药理潜力研究进展
刺柏(Juniperus recurva)是一种小型乔木或蔓生灌木,分布于阿富汗,东经喜马拉雅山至中国西南部。它主要生长在喜马拉雅山湿润地区(海拔1800米至3900米)的林地,土壤湿润,排水良好。它作为一种药用植物具有很大的潜力。传统上被用作抗风湿、防腐、解痉、抗毒、催情、收敛、驱风、润湿和健胃。然而,迄今为止,对这种植物的药用价值进行的真正的药理学研究很少。本文首次对该植物的化学成分、药理活性和药用价值进行了综述。考虑到它作为一种治疗各种疾病的传统药物的成功记录,寻找可能具有治疗潜力的各种生物活性天然产品将是令人感兴趣的。
