苔藓植物是没有维管束的陆生植物,分为藓纲、苔纲和角苔纲3类。近年来的研究表明,苔藓植物能产生萜类、黄酮类及联苄类等生物活性物质,其中许多对病原真菌和细菌具有良好的抑制作用,是天然抗菌药物的重要来源。本文主要介绍苔藓植物的化学组成及其抑菌作用的研究情况。
Including Musci, Hepaticae and Anthocerotae, bryophytes are members of the land plants without vascular. Bryophytes can produce a great variety of bioactive compounds such as terpenoids, flavonoids and bibenzyls, some of which have obviously antifungal and antibacterial activities and are vital sources of naturally antimicrobial drugs. Chemical constituents of bryophyte and its antimicrobial activity are summarized and discussed in this paper.
