金平人参Panax vietnamensis是一种珍贵的药用资源植物，分布于我国云南金平县一带以及越南的玉玲山和黄连山地区，野生资源稀缺，人工栽培初具规模。金平人参的化学成分主要为三萜皂苷类，目前已报道的皂苷类成分涉及奥克梯隆醇型、原人参二醇型、原人参三醇型、齐墩果酸型、C-17侧链变化型等共63个结构，其中奥克梯隆醇型皂苷珠子参苷R2含量最高，达5.3%。除此之外还有甾体皂苷、聚炔类、脂肪酸和氨基酸等成分。药理活性研究表明金平人参具有抗炎、抗肿瘤、抑制黑色素生成、肝肾保护、镇静安神等作用。对金平人参的资源现状、化学成分以及药理活性研究进行综述，以期为该植物的进一步开发利用提供依据。

Panax vietnamensis Ha et Grushv., is a precious medicinal plant, naturally distributed in the Jinping County in Yunnan, China, and Ngoc Linh and Hoang Lien Son mountain areas in Vietnam. Its wild resources are scarce, while artificial cultivation is beginning to take shape. The chemistry components isolated from P. vietnamensis were mainly triterpenoids, and the reported 63 saponin components related to ocotillol type, protopanaxadiol type, protopanaxatriol type, oleanolic acid type, and C-17 side-chain varied type, etc. Among them, the content of majonoside R₂ was as high as 5.3%. In addition, it contents steroidal glycosides,polyacetylenes, fatty acids and amino acids, etc. Pharmacological studies showed that P. vietnamensis had the effects of anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, melanin production inhibition, liver and kidney protection and sedation, etc. This article mainly summarized the current status on resources, chemical compositions, and pharmacological activities of P. vietnamensis in order to provide a reference for development and utilization of the plant.
