Abstract: Cyclocarya paliurus is an unique and rare dicotyledonous plant in China, which is mainly distributed in regions south of the Yangtze river. Its roots, branches and leaves can be used as medicine. The current studies show that the main chemical constituents of Cyclocarya paliurus include polysaccharides, phenolic acids, flavonoids, triterpenoids and some inorganic elements. Moreover, a number of studies have revealed that Cyclocarya paliurus has various pharmacological actions, such as hypoglycemic and antihypertensive activity, weight reducing activity, anti-tumor activity, anti-aging activity, anti-allergy activity, summer-heat clearing activity, immunity improving activity and metabolism promoting activity. This paper reviews the research progress on chemical constituents and pharmacological actions of Cyclocarya paliurus, in hoping to provide references for the further development and utilization of this plant resource.

Key words: Cyclocarya paliurus, chemical constituents, pharmacological actions
