Abstract:As a kind of medicine and food homology plant with great utilization value, Lilii Bulbus is rich in resources and widely distributed in China. Phytochemical researches have shown that Lilii Bulbus contains, phenols-glycerides, alkaloids, flavones, amino acids, phospholipids, alkanes and other compositions, and mainly of steroidal saponins and polysaccharides. Pharmacological researches have shown that Lilii Bulbus exhibits excellent antitumor, antidepression, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, antifatigue, antihypoxia, immunomodulatory anti-inflammatory, and Na+/K+ ATPase inhibitory effect. Polysaccharides, steroidal saponins and alkaloids in Lilii Bulbus can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of multiple cancer cells. Also, the steroidal saponin is the active ingredient for antidepression effect. The present paper reviewed the phytochemistry and pharmacological activities research in the past 30 years of Lilii Bulbus through accessing multiple databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, ScienceDirect, PubMed and Web of science, aiming to provide reference for further research and utilization of Lilii Bulbus.
