Abstract :
The dried tuber of Typhonium giganteum Engl. as a Chinese traditional medicine (Baifuzi) was recorded in Chinese Pharmacopoeia, which has the effects of "dispelling wind-phlegm" and apoplexy with gurgling in the throat etc. Recently, it has been shown that Typhonium giganteum Engl. tuber extracts possess a wide range of pharmacological properties, including effects on anti-tyrosinase, anti-inflammation, immunomodulation, apoptosis induction in cancer cells and so on. In this paper, we summarized the chemical constituents, biological activities and metabolism research advancement of Typhonium giganteum Engl. tuber extracts.
