Genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. (family Schisandraceae) comprises 16 species, mainly distributed in Asia, and eight of them existed in the south and southeast of China (Wu et al, 2008; Saunders, 1998). The plants of the genus have been used as folk medicines for a long time to activate blood and resolve stasis, promote qi circulation to relieve pain, dispell wind and eliminate dampness (Liu et al, 2012). Some species such as K. interior, K. coccinea, K. longipedunculata, and K. heteroclita, have been recorded in Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010 (Pharmacopoeia Committee of P. R. China, 2010) and Provincial Chinese Materia Medica Standards (Fujian Food and Drug Administration, 2006; Guangdong Food and Drug Administration, 2004). (Figure 1)

In recent years,genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. has been extensively studied in chemical constituents including lignans,triterpenoids,flavonoids,sesquiterpenoids, and so on. Among them,lignans and triterpenoids were the main characteristic constituents with various biological activities. Since the pharmacological studies have been reviewed in our previous paper(Liu et al,2014),we summarized the chemical constituents including bioactive compounds isolated from the plants of genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. over the past 20 years, and provided a primary and strategic platform for the further development and utilization of the medicinal value and resources in the plants of genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss.
2. Chemical constituentsMore than 450 compounds had been isolated and identified from the plants of genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss.,which could enrich the abundant constituents in the natural products in Schis and raceae plants. They were lignans,triterpenoids,flavonoids,sesquiterpenoids,etc. Among them,lignans and triterpenoids were the main chemical constituents,which were the research hotspots for their bioactivities in anti-HIV,antitumor,antihepatitis treatment and so on. Their names,structures, and corresponding plant sources were collected as follows.
2.1 LignansLignans were the major constituents in the plants of genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. Two hundred and eighty-five lignans had been identified and divided into five categories,dibenzocyclooctadienes(A),spirobenzofuranoid dibenzocyclooctadienes(B),aryltetralins(C),diarylbutanes(D), and tetrahydrofurans(E).
2.1.1Dibenzocyclooctadienes(A)abundant dibenzocyclooctadienes were isolated from the plants of genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss.,occupying above half of total lignans(Table 1). According to their different configurations and conformations,dibenzocyclo- octadienes could be further classified into three categories: S-twist boat chair(S-TBC),R-TBC, and S-TB,more than half of which were S-TBC. In addition,a special type of dibenzo- cyclooctadienes isolated from the plants of genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. had an oxygen-bridged eight-membered ring.(Figure 2)

5)Kadlongilactone-type triterpenoids (O) Eleven kadlongilactone-type triterpenoids were isolated from the plants of genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. Kadlongilactones A−F(126−131)had been isolated from the leaves and stems of K. longipedunculata, and some of them were also isolated from K. coccinea and K. angustifolia. Since these compounds featured an unprecedented rearranged hexacyclic system,they were assigned to a new group,named kadlongilactone-type triterpenoids. Subsequent studies on K. coccinea led to the isolation of other five compounds,kadcoccilactones K−O(132−136).(Table 12,Figure 12)

Table 12Kadlongilactone-type triterpenoids(O)isolated from genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss |
In earlier years,more than 60 highly oxygenated polycyclic nortriterpenoids had been isolated from the plants of genus Schis and ra Michx., and some scholars assigned this series of unique nortriterpenoids as Schis and ra nortrit- erpenoids(Xiao et al,2008). But the lastest phytochemical studies showed 19 compounds were isolated from Kadsura plants. Kadcoccilactones A−F(146−151),H−J(152−154) and wuweizidilactone B(155)had been isolated from K. coccinea(Gao et al,2008a). Another eight compounds,named kadnanolactones A(137),F(138),G(139),H(140),I(141),micr and ilactones B(143),C(142), and wuweizidilactone H(144),were isolated from K. ananosma(Yang et al,2010a).

Some other kinds of chemical constituents were also isolated from genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. including flavonoids,sesquiterpenoids,etc. Seven flavonoids were isolated and identified from K. oblongifolia(Liu et al,2009a),including kaempferol-3-O-α-L-arabofuranoside,kaempferol-3- O-α-D-arabinopyranoside,quercetin-3-O-α-L-arabofuranoside,
quercetin-3-O-α-D-arabinopyranoside,quercetin-3-O-β-D-gluco- pyranoside,quercetin, and kaempferol. In addition,two guaianolide-type sesquiterpenoids(4β,9β-dihydroxy-1α,5α- H-guaia-6,10(14)-dien and 4β,9β,10α-trihydroxy-1α,5α-H- guaia-6-en)were isolated and identified from K. interior(Dong et al,2013).
3. DiscussionLignans and triterpenoids were the main chemical constituents from the plants of genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. as summarized above. According to our previous investigation,lignans and triterpenoids exhibited various activities,including
anti-HIV,antitumor,antihepatitis,anti-oxidant,anti-platelet aggregation,immunomodulatory activities,neuroprotective effect,depigmentation effect,etc(Wang et al,2013; Goh et al,2013; Liu et al,2014). Some promising compounds with good bioactivities were emerged,for example anti-HIV activity(gomisin G,kadsulignan N,etc),antitumor activity(ananosic acids A−C,etc),anti-oxidant activity(kadsuphilol C,kadsurin,etc),antihepatitis activity(acetylepigomisin R,etc),anti- platelet aggregation activity(heteroclitin D,etc),neuro- protective effect(ananolignan F,ananonin M,etc), and NO production inhibitory activity(kadsuralignans C,G,etc)(Liu et al,2014).
Genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. is a good source with considerable characteristic chemical constituents and potential bioactivities. With the development and improve- ment of pharmacological models,some valuable lead compounds would be acquired by continuous and in-depth studies. Moreover,some pharmacophylogenetics and structure-activity relationships would greatly increase the opportunity of finding new and promising lead compounds and promote the reasonable development and utilization of the plants in genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss.
4. ConclusionPhytochemical studies on the plants of genus Kadusra Kaempf. ex Juss. led to the isolation and identification of more than 450 compounds,including 285 lignans and 160 triterpenoids. Lignans and triterpenoids are the main characteristic constituents from the plants of genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss., and some of them exhibit unprecedented structural skeleton and exciting bioactivities,which has brought great interests and challenges for phytochemists and pharmacologists. Genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss.,the economically and medicinally important plants,consists of 16 species in the world,but only about eight species are investigated in-depth. So it is necessary to further carry out the chemical,pharmacological, and pharmacophylogenetic study on the other plants of genus Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss.
