Abstract

Abstract: Voacanga africana, a plant belonging to Voacanga genus in Apocynaceae family, has been widely used in traditional African medicine. Phytochemical studies have revealed that V. africana contains various bioactive compounds, including alkaloids and flavonoids, with alkaloids exhibiting notable pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial, antitumor, and neuroprotective effects. This review summarizes the structural characteristics, biological activities, and safety profiles of alkaloids derived from V. africana, aiming to provide a reference for further research and development.

Key words: Voacanga africana, alkaloids, bioactivity, safety

摘要： 非洲马铃果Voacanga africana为夹竹桃科马铃果属植物，在非洲传统医学中有广泛应用。非洲马铃果含有生物碱、黄酮等多种化学成分，尤其是生物碱类成分具有抗菌、抗肿瘤、神经保护等多种药理活性。本文综述了非洲马铃果中生物碱类化学成分的结构、生物活性和使用安全性等，旨在为后续研究和开发利用提供参考。
