三七Panax notoginseng为五加科人参属植物，在我国已有400多年的栽培历史，其作为一种名贵中药，具有化瘀止血、消肿止痛等功效。三七复杂的化学成分是其良好功效的基础。目前已从三七中发现了百余种化合物，其中有效成分以皂苷类成分和三七素为主。对三七中皂苷类和非皂苷类成分的研究历程和概况进行了综述，并根据不同化合物的特点，探讨了各类化合物今后的研究方向，以期为三七的进一步研究提供有益参考。

Panax notoginseng is a plant of the Araliaceae ginseng species. As a valuable medicine, it has a cultural history of more than 400 years with the effects of circulation to stop bleeding, swelling, pain, etc. The complex chemical composition in P. notoginseng is closely related to the effects. Currently, more than 100 compounds have been found in P. notoginseng, among which the active ingredients are mainly saponins and dencichine. The chemical compositions of P. notoginseng were divided into two parts, saponins and non saponins, and the paper gave an overview of the research process about them. In addition, according to the characteristics of different compounds, we discussed the future research directions of various types of compounds in order to provide a useful reference for the further study of P. notoginseng.
