Chemistry, Bioactivity, and Prediction of the Quality Marker (Q-Marker) of Ferula Plants in China: A Review.

The genus of belongs to the family Apiaceae, and many plants are used as traditional Chinese medicines. plants were initially identified as early as the "Newly Revised Materia Medica" written in the Tang Dynasty (AD 659), and several of them are also recognized as the traditional medicines of the Uygur, Kazakh, and Mongolian. plants are distributed in China, Russia, India, Africa, Central Asia, and other places. Currently, the chemical components derived from plants are mainly coumarins, sesquiterpenes, and volatile oils. plants can exhibit diverse pharmacological activities such as anti-allergy, analgesia, relieving cough, anticoagulation, and anti-tumor. Therefore, this article summarized the domestic research conducted on the genus , appropriately combines the research status of the foreign genus , and describes the chemical composition, biological activity, toxicity issues, and Q-marker prediction. In addition, all the related studies about the genus are summarized by analyzing the various databases such as CNKI, Wanfang data, PubChem and SciFinder.
