It is also a popular food in some Europe and Mediterranean countries. Purslane contains a variety of chemical constituents with pharmacological activities, such as antitumor, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, antibacterial,anti-inflammatory activities. It is also full of plenty of nutrients serving as a diet food or healthy food.Here we reviewed purslane in the following aspects: botanical resources, ethnopharmacological function,chemical constituents, pharmacology and pharmacokinetics, safety evaluation and toxicity, and clinical applications.展开更多
