Abstract
Aralia elata (A. elata), a perennial woody plant of the Araliaceae family, is extensive in Northeast China. Esteemed for both its medicinal and edible qualities in the Changbai Mountain region, its primary components include polysaccharides, saponins, and flavonoids. A. elata displays numerous pharmacological effects, such as cardiovascular protection, anti-tumour, anti-fatigue, and hypoglycaemic properties. Through the extraction, purification and pharmacological evaluation of A. elata, it is expected to discover more biologically active components and provide scientific basis for their development as a clinical candidate drugs. This review consolidates recent research on extraction, separation, purification, and the biological efficacy of A. elata polysaccharides and saponins, which will provide the oretical basis and technical support for the further development and utilisation of A. elata resources and related by-products, and providing a foundation for the application of A. elata in functional foods and medicines.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
