Progress in Chemical Constituents of Genus Dryopteris

Objective:To review the chemical studies progress of genus Dryopteris. Methods:To review the types of compounds,and their structures,isolation and identification from the reference.Results:58 Phloroglucinol derivatives,13 terpenoids and 4 flavonoids were isolated and identified from plants of genus Dryopteris.Conclusion:The resources of genus Dryopteris are very abundant in China.To full use of this resource,the chemical studies should be closely combined with pharmacological screening.
