The phytoecdysteroids(PEs)comprise a large group of biologically-active plant steroids,which have structures similar to those of insect-molting hormones.PEs are distributed in plants as secondary me-tabolites that offer protection against phytophagus(plant-eating)insects.When insects consume the plants containing these chemicals,they promptly molt and undergo metabolic destruction;the insects eventually die.Chemically,ecdysteroids are a group of polyhydroxylated ketosteroids that are structurally similar to androgens.The carbon skeleton of ecdysteroids is termed as cyclopentanoperhydro-phenanthrene with a β-side chain at carbon-17.The essential characteristics of ecdysteroids are a cis-(5β-H)junction of rings A and B,a 7-en-6-one chromophore,and a trans-(14α-OH)junction of rings C and D.Plants only synthesize Pes from mevalonic acid in the mevalonate pathway of the plant cell using acetyl-CoA as a precursor;the most common PE is 20-hydroxyecdysone.So far,over 400 Pes have been identified and reported,and a compilation of 166 Pes originating from 1998 has been previously reviewed.In the present review,we have summarized 212 new Pes reported between 1999 and 2019.We have also critically analyzed the biological,pharmacological,and medicinal properties of Pes to understand the full impact of these phytoconstituents in health and disease.

生命起源与进化是地球历史发展过程中的一个自然现象.即便是能够通过考古学和历史学研究等知晓人类是从动物进化而来的,然而通常也很难理解自然界进化出复杂生命现象的目的、动机和意义.虽然有“存在即合理”的说法,但如果进化是随机的,那么,自然界又怎么会进化出号称“万物之灵”的人类这一特殊的高级物种呢?从原始社会发展到现代社会,人类经历了数不胜数的自然灾害、疾病和战争等痛苦与磨难,其成长和发展过程实属不易.当前虽已进入21世纪,人类在物质文明与精神文明获得大发展的同时,却依然面临病毒疫情、慢病顽疾、焦虑抑郁、恐怖袭击
