Abstract: Coreopsis tinctorial contains flavonoids, coumarins, organic acids, amino acids, saponins, volatile oils, tannins, sugars, phenols and other chemical compositions. Among them, flavonoids are the dominant compositions of Coreopsis tinctoria with the highest content. Modern pharmacology researches have found that flavonoids have many pharmacological activities, such as anti-thrombosis, anti-aging, anti-diabetes, anti-tumor, anti-antibacterial, cardioprotective, lowing blood pressure, anti-oxidative, reducing blood lipid, enhancing immune function. In this paper, the pharmacological characteristics of Coreopsis tinctoria are reviewed, in hoping to provide references for the researchers with focus on flavonoids in Coreopsis tinctoria.

Key words: Coreopsis tinctoria, pharmacological actions, flavonoids, research progress
