Abstract:

Kunlun chrysanthemum (Coreopsis tinctoria), which is found in the high altitude mountain area of Xinjiang,China, is reported to exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities including hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic,antihypertensive and anti-oxidant effects. In this review, we summarize the recent progresses in the analysis,extraction and characterization and biological activities of chemical substances of Coreopsis tinctoria, with the aim tolay the ground for further study of its biological functions and development into functional foods.

Key words: Kunlun chrysanthemum, Coreopsis tinctoria, chemical components, flavonoid, biological activity
