Research Progress of Ferula ferulaeoides

Volatile oil, terpenoids and coumarins are main chemical constituents of Ferula ferulaeoides, which is one of the traditional ethnic medicines in Xinjiang Uygur and Kazakh of China. Previous work has shown that F. ferulaeoides exhibited insecticide, antibacterial, antitumor properties, and so on. Taking CNKI, WANFANG and PubMed database as the search platform, with keywords and full text as the search items, the F. ferulaeoide as the search term was searched. The domestic and foreign paper reports and patent approvals of F. ferulaeoides from 1993 to 2020 were retrieved to find total of 58 papers and 6 patents. The contents of these papers invovled pharmacognosy, chemical composition, pharmacological activity and plant ecology of F. ferulaeoides, and the patents involved its medical application, extraction process and identification. The research literature of F. ferulaeoides was summarized and analyzed to provide reference for the follow-up development and utilization of F. ferulaeoides.
