欧前胡素为线型呋喃香豆素类化合物,从白芷、欧前胡等植物中提取分离得到。其提取方法主要有热回流提取法、渗滤法和超临界流体萃取法。欧前胡素具有抑制癫痫发作、扩张血管、抑制心肌肥大、抑制肿瘤细胞增殖、抗微生物、影响药物代谢酶活性等多种药理作用。本文对其基本性质、提取分离方法和药理学等方面的研究进展加以综述,为欧前胡素的开发与研究提供参考。 Imperatorin is a linear furanocoumarin compound extracted from plants such as Angelica dahuricae and Euphorbia pulcherrima. The extraction methods are mainly thermal reflux extraction, percolation and supercritical fluid extraction. Imperatorin has many pharmacological effects such as inhibiting seizures, dilating blood vessels, inhibiting cardiac hypertrophy, inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, anti-microbial and influencing drug-metabolizing enzyme activity. In this paper, the research progress of its basic properties, extraction and isolation methods and pharmacology are reviewed to provide reference for the development and research of imperatorin.
