Abstract:

To provide a reference for the in-depth research and utilization of coumarin compounds in the genus Heracleum, this review summarized the types and chemical structures of the identified coumarin compounds in the genus Heracleum, concluded the research progress in aspects of anti-bacteria, anti-oxidation, anti-cell proliferation, anti-inflammation, toxicity, etc, and comparatively analyzed the difference between relevant domestic and foreign researches. It revealed the diversity of coumarin compounds in the genus Heracleum and their values in medical and food industries. It proposed during the drug development process, there are problems, such as the research in its function is not deep or systemic enough, active ingredients are unclear, etc. It suggested fortifying research on its toxicity and efficacy and promoting the development and utilization of the genus Heracleum as a plant resource for foods and medicine.

Key words: genus Heracleum, coumarin compounds, bioactivities, plant utilization
