Studies On Chemical Constituents Of The Asterias Amurensis And Its Pharmacological Activities

In this paper, the chemical compositions and pharmacological activities of Asterias amurensis were studied.According to the references, a few kinds of compounds were isolated and identified as so far from Asterias amurensis, such as steroids, triterpenoids, saponin, alkaloids and so on. The modern pharmacyological studies showed that Asterias amurensis had the effects of cytotoxic, anticancer, hemolysis, depressurization, antiinflammatory, antiviral, antifungal etc.. In order to find out more chemical constituents which have bioactivities in Asterias amurensis and develop more new health maintenances and drug products, our group gave a comprehensive researches. The research methods and results as follow: Firstly, pulverized and dried Asterias amurensis (500g) were extensively extracted with MeOH and the combined extracts were concentrated in vacuo and got a methanol parts(51g). Secondly, the residue ware subsequently...
