Terpenoids Isolated from Siphonodon celastrineus Griff
Abstract
Siphonodon celastrineus Griff. is one of Thai medicinal plants that has long been used in traditional recipes for the treatments of inflammation, abscess, skin diseases, ache and paralysis, and to be used as bone tonic. Moreover, cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell lines of the ethanol extract from the leaves and stems, and antimalarial activity of the ethyl acetate extract from the stems of S. celastrineus have also been reported. From chemical constituent studies, terpenoids (or terpenes) are the main group of compounds isolated from the roots, stems and fruits of S. celastrineus. Among these isolated terpenoids, some of them showed cytotoxic activities against some cancer cell lines. In this review article, terpenoids isolated from different parts S. celastrineus and their biological activities have been summarized.References
