Abstract

Syringa pinnatifolia is an endemic species of Syringa in Oleaceae family in China, mainly distributed in Helan Mountain, which is located between Inner Mongolia and Ningxia. Its peeled roots, stems and thick twigs have been used as Mongolian folk medicine, called "Shan-chen-xiang" in Chinese, for the treatment of coronary heart diseases, angina pectoris and other cardiopulmonary diseases. Modern researches showed that S. pinnatifolia mainly contains lignans, sesquiterpenoids, and volatile oils, and displays anti-myocardial ischemia, sedation, analgesia, antibacterial and other effects. In the past five years, many groups have made new progress on the study of chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of S. pinnatifolia. On the basis of the previous review by our group, this paper summarizes the advances which is beneficial to the development, research and clinical application of S. pinnatifolia, particularly Shan-chen-xiang.
