Abstract

The Plants of genus Chloranthus have been investigated in many chemical and pharmacological laboratories due to their complex secondary metabolites and diverse bioactivities. The aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date overview on the chemistry and bioactivity of the compounds isolated, mainly sesquiterpenoids and Diterpenoids, from the genus Chloranthus over the past few decades.

Keywords

Biological activity; Chloranthus species; Diterpenoids; Secondary metabolites; Sesquiterpenoids.
