To investigate and analysis the chemical constituents

pharmacological actions and clinical applications of Salvia chinensis

in order to provide some references for the further study and development of S. chinensis. Refer to the related reports of domestic and abroad in past 20 years. The chemical constituents of S. chinensis are complex

research are focus on terpenoids and polysaccharides. It has anti-inflammatory

antioxidation and anti-tumor effects. At present

we obtain some progress on its chemical constituents and pharmacological actions

however

it is lack of research on its effective constituents and mechanism of actions. The futher research is in favor of the development of new medcines and making the most use of plant resources.
