Dioscorea opposita; chemical constituents; biological activities; research progressAbstract
Dioscorea opposita is a famous medicinal and edible plant that contains polysaccharides, stilbenes, diarylheptanoids, steroids, lignans, and terpenoids. It has many biological activities, such as anti-oxidation, enhancement of immunity, and hypoglycemic activity. In this paper, the research progress on the chemical constituents of D. opposita and their biological activities was reviewed. This review provides a scientific basis for the further development and utilization of D. opposita.
