Abstract
Ethnopharmacological relevance
Lonicera japonica Thunb. (
Caprifoliaceae), a widely used traditional Chinese medicine, was known as
Jin Yin Hua (Chinese:
),
Ren Dong and
Japanese honeysuckle. It was taken to treat the exopathogenic wind-heat, epidemic febrile diseases, sores,
carbuncles and some infectious diseases. At the same time,
Lonicera japonica could be used as healthy food, cosmetics, ornamental groundcover, and so on.
Aim of the review
The present paper reviewed the ethnopharmacology, the biological activities, toxicology and phytochemistry of Lonicera japonica.
Materials and methods
Information on Lonicera japonica was gathered via the Internet (using Google Scholar, Baidu Scholar, Elsevier, ACS, Medline Plus, CNKI and Web of Science) and libraries. Additionally, information also was obtained from some local books and brilliant scholars on ethnopharmacology.
Results
More than 140 chemical compounds have been isolated, and the main compositions are essential oils, organic acids and flavones, etc. Lonicera japonica and its active principles possess wide pharmacological actions, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidative and hepatoprotective activities.
