鳶尾醛型三萜是角鯊烯代謝的一類特殊的三萜類化合物,結(jié)構(gòu)類型主要有單環(huán)、雙環(huán)、螺環(huán)等,主要存在于鳶尾科植物中,具有廣泛的生物學(xué)活性。綜述了鳶尾醛型三萜在植物界的分布情況及其多樣化生物活性的研究進(jìn)展,為鳶尾醛型三萜的開發(fā)和利用提供一定的科學(xué)依據(jù)和理論基礎(chǔ)。

Iridal-type triterpenoids are a kind of special compounds which come from the metabolism of squalene. Their chemical structures mainly can be divided into mono-, bi-, and spirocyclic structures. The iridal-type triterpenoids which have various and vital biological activities are mainly found in Iridaceae plants. The research progress on distribution in plants and diversified biological activities of iridal-type triterpenoids are reviewed in this paper, which provide some scientific basis for the development and utilization of iridal-type triterpenoids.
