Rhubarb is one of the most ancient, commonly used and important herbs in Chinese medicine. The modern researches of rhubarb clarified the efficacies, ingredients and mechanisms in a more scientific and rigorous way. The main chemical compositions of rhubarb include anthraquinones, anthrones, stilbenes, tannins, polysaccharides etc. These compositions show extensive pharmacological activities including regulating gastrointestinal, anticancer, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, protecting cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and so on. This paper reviews the recent studies on the active ingredients, pharmacological effects, clinical application and functional mechanism.

Covering: up to 2024The prompt identification of (bio)active natural products (NPs) from complex mixtures poses a significant challenge due to the presence of numerous compounds with diverse structures and (bio)activities. Thus, this review provides an overview of current and emerging tools and strategies for the identification of (bio)active NPs in complex mixtures. Traditional approaches of bioassay-guided fractionation (BGF), followed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis for compound structure elucidation, continue to play an important role in the identification of active NPs.
