摘要: Plants in the genus Tripterygium, such as Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f., have a long history of use traditional Chinese medicine. In recent years there has been considerable interest extracts and main bioactive constituent, diterpene triepoxide triptolide (1), to treat variety autoimmune inflammation-related conditions. The mode action (1) is inhibition expression proinflammatory genes those for interleukin-2 (IL-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). efficacy safety certain types were confirmed human clinical trials US abroad. Over 300 compounds identified many these evaluated biological activity. overall activity extract based on interaction between its components. Therefore, cannot be fully mimicked by any individual constituent. This review discusses biochemical composition pharmacological activities extracts, their
