Chay, Mong, Nung, San Diu, E de. Some ethnic groups have
precious medicinal plants, valuable traditional treatment and
therapeutic remedies trusted by the people and recognized by the
Oriental Medicine Association of Vietnam. However people's
medicine has not been proven in science. Vietnam is located in
tropical monsoon climate zone, so the country’s vegetation is rich
and diversified, Vietnam has many natural conservations that are
home to thousands of species of rare plants and animals, and
rich medicinal herbs and various resources.
Species Balanophora laxiflora Hemsly and Ficus hirta Vahl,
are precious medicinal plants in the treasure herbs, medicinal
Vietnam, species B.laxiflora and species F. hirta has been used in
traditional medicine Vietnam for treatment of various diseases such
as: a tonic for blood circulation improvement, recovery, antipyretic,
antidote, appetite stimulation, Recent researchers have discovered
various compounds and bioactivities of B. laxiflora. For instance,
antioxidant hydrolysable tannins with a phenylacrylic acid
derivative such as caffeoyl, coumaroyl, anti-inflammatory
metabolites, hypouricemic activity.Study on chemical
constituents and biological activity of two species Balanophora
laxiflora Hemsl and Ficus hirta Vahl are necessary, in order to
elucidate biochemical and bioactive significance as well as extend
the use of species Balanophora laxiflora Hemsl and Ficus hirta
Vahl, we carry out the topic:"Study on chemical constituents
and biological activity of Balanophora laxiflora Hemsl. and
Ficus hirta Vahl.
