Abstract

Jojoba, Simmondsia chinensis (Link) C.K. Schneider is an evergreen shrub widely grown in Israel, the Middle East, South America, Africa, India and Australia used as an agricultural crop for commercial purposes and as a source of its non-edible natural wax. It is widely used in pharmaceutics and cosmetic formulation due to its unique structural characteristics and beneficial health effects. In addition, extensive work has been published on the plant’s health-promoting activities, ranging from antioxidant activities to the treatment of cancer. Being a rich source of natural liquid wax, the majority of research regarding jojoba focuses on its applications, as well as on the ability to exploit the residual plant materials obtained in its production. To date, several potent phytochemicals have been attributed to its medicinal properties, e.g. simmondsin and phenolic compounds. The current review emphasizes the evidence-based medicinal qualities of the wax and plant extracts and highlights the gaps of knowledge in these research areas and the importance of acquiring additional understanding of jojoba distinctive traits.

荷荷巴的药用特性
Jojoba, Simmondsia chinensis (Link) C.K. Schneider是一种常绿灌木,广泛生长在以色列、中东、南美、非洲、印度和澳大利亚,作为商业用途的农作物和不可食用的天然蜡的来源。由于其独特的结构特点和有益的保健作用,被广泛应用于制药和化妆品配方中。此外,从抗氧化活性到治疗癌症,已经发表了大量关于植物促进健康活动的工作。作为天然液体蜡的丰富来源,关于荷荷巴的大部分研究都集中在它的应用上,以及在其生产中获得的残余植物材料的开发能力。迄今为止,几种有效的植物化学物质已归因于其药用特性,例如simmondsin和酚类化合物。当前的综述强调了蜡和植物提取物的循证药用品质,并强调了这些研究领域的知识空白,以及获得对荷荷巴独特特征的额外了解的重要性。
