Abstract:

Secoiridoid compounds have drawn more attention due to their various biological activities in recent years. The natural secoiridoid compounds newly found in different plants at home and abroad between 2002 and 2009 are introduced in this paper. Furthermore, the current situation of research on separation, extraction, detection and biological characterization of secoiridoid compounds is summarized, and the food and medical application prospects are also predicted.

Key words: secoiridoid, chemical structure, biological activity
