Abstract Styrax officinalis L. is an important medicinal plant that grows in the desert, subtropics, temperate climate, and Mediterranean Basin regions.. It has been used for medicinal, religious, agricultural and cosmetic purposes. This review aimed to collect from the literature, all the available data about the phytochemistry, traditional medicinal uses, evidence-based uses, morphology and habitat of S. officinalis plant. This report is a review of the literature concerning S. officinalis chemical constituents, description, origin, traditional medicinal and evidence-based uses published from 1966 to date. Among the databases searched for primary literature references are Pubmed, Scientific Information Database, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, Google and Google scholar. In this search, combinations of the keyword Styrax officinalis with the terms; antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, anticancer, phytochemistry, ethnopharmacology, traditional uses, folk uses, morphology, biological activity, therapeutic effects and toxicity were applied. The current review showed that various compounds have been isolated from S. officinalis: leaves, fruits, seeds, flowers and stems such as egonol, egonol oleate, americanin, several types of phenolic acids and benzofuran derivatives. These natural compounds and their synthetic derivatives in addition to the various parts used as extracts showed valuable biological activities including antitumor, hemolytic, anti-complement, anti-leukemic, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. This review represented a summary of the information concerning S. officinalis different used parts. However, the areas of isolation and identification of the biologically active compounds of S. officinalis from the roots and rhizomes also investigation more biological activities of other plant parts are essential to cover all the scientific fields of S. officinalis.

沙漠植物 Styrax officinalis L 的植物化学、传统用途和生物学效应

摘要 安息香是一种重要的药用植物，生长在沙漠、亚热带、温带气候和地中海盆地地区。它已被用于药用、宗教、农业和美容用途。本综述旨在从文献中收集有关厚朴植物的植物化学、传统药用、循证用途、形态和栖息地的所有可用数据。本报告回顾了 1966 年至今出版的关于厚朴化学成分、描述、来源、传统药用和循证用途的文献。在主要参考文献中搜索的数据库包括 Pubmed、Scientific Information Database、Scopus、Web of Science、Science Direct、谷歌和谷歌学者。在这次搜索中，关键词 Styrax officinalis 与术语的组合；应用了抗菌、抗真菌、抗氧化、抗癌、植物化学、民族药理学、传统用途、民间用途、形态、生物活性、治疗效果和毒性。目前的审查表明，已从厚朴中分离出多种化合物：叶、果实、种子、花和茎，如 egonol、egonol oleate、americanin、几种类型的酚酸和苯并呋喃衍生物。这些天然化合物及其合成衍生物以及用作提取物的各个部分都显示出有价值的生物活性，包括抗肿瘤、溶血、抗补体、抗白血病、抗真菌、抗菌、抗氧化和酪氨酸酶抑制活性。这篇综述是关于 S 的信息摘要。厚朴的不同使用部位。然而，从根和根茎中分离和鉴定厚朴的生物活性化合物的领域也调查了其他植物部分的更多生物活性，这对于涵盖厚朴的所有科学领域是必不可少的。
