Abstract

Abstract: Cyanotis arachnoidea, a type of Yi medicine, is a perennial herb belonging to the Cyanotis D. Don of Commelinaceae. Phytoecdysterone is one of the main active components of Cyanotis arachnoidea. So far, phytoecdysteroids, phytosterol, phytosterone glycoside, fatty acid, terpene and volatile oil have been identified as the main chemical constituents of Cyanotis arachnoidea. Among these chemical constituents, phytoecdysterone has the most significant content. Phytoecdysterone has a wide range of biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties, protection of the nervous system, reduction of blood glucose and lipid, and protection of cardiovascular and skeletal systems and organs. In this paper, the phytoecdysterone constituents of Cyanotis arachnoidea and the biological activities of phytoecdysterone were summarized in order to provide reference for the development and utilization of Cyanotis arachnoidea.

Key words: Yi medicine, Cyanotis arachnoidea, phytoecdysterone, chemical constituents, pharmacological effects
