单萜苷类化合物是许多常用中药的有效成分，期结构类型主要包括无环、单环、双环、三环单萜苷及环烯醚萜苷，具有抗菌、抗炎、抗肿瘤、保肝、降血糖等药理作用。综述了近10年来从天然药物中分离得到的单萜苷类化学成分及其药理活性的研究进展，为该类成分的开发利用提供参考。

Monoterpene glucosides are the effective constituents in many commonly used traditional Chines medicine. Based on structural analysis, these compounds are mainly divided into the following types: acyclic monoterpene glucosides, monocyclic monoterpene glucosides, bicyclic monoterpene glucosides, tricyclic monoterpene glucosides, and iridoid glucosides. Furthermore, monoterpene glucosides have multiple pharmacological activities, such as antibiosis, anti-inflammation, antitumor, hepatoprotective and antidiabetic activities. This paper summarizes researches in the past 10 years on monoterpene glucosides isolated from natural products and their pharmacological activities, so as to provide scientific basis for exploitation of monoterpene gluosides.
