Codonopsis lanceolata is a climbing perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Codonopsis of the family
Campanulaceae and used both as a precious wild vegetable and herbal medicine in Changbaishan Mountain. Codonopsis
lanceolata has an extensive range of pharmacological activities and physiological functions which make it attract tremendous
attention. This paper summarizes the recent progress in the studies on phytochemicals and bioactivities of Codonopsis
lanceolata, including phytochemicals and their metabolites, biological fermentation and bioactivity, in order to provide a
theoretical basis for the development and utilization of Codonopsis lacceolata.

Key words: Codonopsis lacneolata, phytochemicals, bioactivity
