絞股藍皂苷為絞股藍的主要活性成分，屬于達瑪烷型四環(huán)三萜，其在藥材中含量高、容易獲得，主要生物活性體現(xiàn)在抗腫瘤、降血糖、降血脂、心腦血管保護等方面。絞股藍皂苷易受酸、堿、酶的影響而降解，水解后不僅脫去糖生成次級苷，而且苷元的結構也會發(fā)生變化。查閱近年來國內外文獻并進行歸納總結，綜述絞股藍皂苷水解產物化學結構與藥理作用的研究進展，為尋找結構新穎、活性更強的先導化合物提供參考。

The biologically active constituents in Gynostemma pentaphyllum are dammarane-type glycosides, called gypenosides. They are believed to be the highest contents of this herb, easy to obtain, and mainly active in anti-tumor, controlling the blood glucose, lipid-lowering, cardiovascular protection, etc. The saponins may change into sub-glucoside after hydrolysis, for the internal acetal glucoside structure is vulnerable to acid, alkali, and enzyme degradation. Through searching the literatures in recent years, this paper summarized the chemical constituents in the hydrolyzed products of gypenosides, for providing references to discover novel and more active lead compounds.
