Abstract:
Urticaceae includes about 1300 species in 47 genera which largely spread in wet tropical regions, and 341 species in 25 genera are in China. Some species are used in Chinese folk medicine. So far, studies on chemistry and pharmacology of Urticaceous plants are mainly focused on nettle of Urtica L. In this review, the chemical researches on 35 new compounds and related pharmacological effects of the plants in Urticaceae reported during 2000－2010 are described. The 35 new compounds belong to the classes of lignan, secolignan, norlignan, flavonoid, alkaloid, sesquiterpenoid, triterpenoid, sterol, and sphingolipid. The main bioactivities include cytotoxic, antitumor, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-BPH, anti-HIV, antidiabetic, hypolipidemic, 5α-reductase inhibitory, hair regrowth promotion, and anti-oxidative activities.
