目的综述蜂胶的来源、类型、化学组成以及与植物源相关性的研究,为蜂胶及其植物源化学成分和药理活性的研究与开发利用提供参考。方法以国内外研究文献为基础,对蜂胶的来源、化学成分进行分析和总结。结果蜂胶来源广泛,化学组成复杂,与植物源相关的特征性成分明显,可根据植物源对蜂胶进行分类。蜂胶是植物化学家良好的研究材料,带动了胶源植物化学成分及药理活性的研究。结论蜂胶与胶源植物的化学组成及药理活性的研究将极大地促进蜂胶及胶源植物的开发与利用。
OBJECTIVE To summarize the sources, types, chemical composition of propolis and the correlation between propolis and source plants, thus to provide a reference for the research, development and utilization of the chemical composition and pharmacological activity of propolis and its source plants. METHODS The sources and chemical composition of propolis were reviewed and classified based on the literature. RESULTS The extremely complex chemical composition of propolis depends on the local flora at different geographic locations. Propolis can be classified according to characteristic chemical compounds of the source plants. Propolis is a good research material for plant chemists to study the chemical composition and pharmacological activity of propolis source plants. CONCLUSION Studies of the chemical composition and pharmacological activity of propolis and its source plants will greatly pro- mote the development and utilization of propolis and source plants
