Abstract
Sauropus spatulifolius Beille is a common medicinal plant, which belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. It has the effects of moistening lungs, relieving cough, relieving constipation, and moistening intestines. S. spatulifolius is a medicinal plant with ethnic characteristics, and its mature leaves are used as medicinal parts. Phytochemical researches revealed that S. spatulifolius contained terpenoids (1–18), carbohydrates (19–31), flavonoids (32–39), alkaloids (40–51), phenols (52–59), steroids (60–64), chain alkanes (65–71), other compounds (72–76). Previous studies displayed S. spatulifolius possessed multiple bioactivities including anti-inflammatory, anti-tussive, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-allergic, anti-cancer, and anti-acute lung injury activities. Meanwhile, analytical techniques for the qualitative-quantitative study of constituents from S. spatulifolius was summarized and analyzed in this article. This review comprehensively summarized the contents of botany, phytochemistry, bioactivity, quality analysis of S. spatulifolius. It will not only provide an important clue for further studying S. spatulifolius, but also supply an important theoretical basis and valuable reference for in-depth researches and exploitations of this plant in the future.
期刊介绍：
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).
In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.
