Abstract:

Plants of Ilex have high medicinal value. They generally contain triterpenoids, flavonoids and other chemical components. They can reduce blood lipids, protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, and fight bacteria and inflammation in clinical practice. With the development of science and technology and the discovery of the medicinal value of Ilex, great progress has been made in the research of Ilex. This paper summarized the research progress of chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of commonly used medicinal plants of Ilex in recent years and put forward relevant suggestions, which would provide reference for the systematic research of Ilex in the future and facilitated the better utilization of resources.

Key words: Ilex, medicinal value, chemical composition, pharmacological activity
