  • The main chemical constituents of the genus Polygonum (Polygonaceae) are flavonoids, quinones, phenylpropanoids, and terpenoids, which show anticancer, antitumor, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, insecticidal, and other pharmacological effects. This paper summarizes research on the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of compounds from the genus Polygonum in last 15 years.
  • The genus Polygonum (Polygonaceae) includes approximately 300 species that are widely distributed around the world, mostly in north temperate regions. Among 113 Polygonum species in China [1], Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb et Zucc., P. aviculare L., P. bistorta L., and P. flaccidum Meissn. have been used as traditional Chinese medicines, as described in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Additionally, P. orientale L., P. tinctorium, P. persicaria L., and P. runcinatum have been shown to have good effects as traditional Chinese medicines.

    Studies of the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of Polygonum plants began at the end of the last century. In recent years, with the rapid development of chromatographic separation technologies and experimental methods, phytochemical investigations have indicated the presence of flavonoids, quinones, phenylpropanoids, and terpenoids in the genus Polygonum. In addition, crude extracts and pure compounds from this genus have been reported to exhibit a wide array of bioactivities, including anticancer, antitumor, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, and insecticidal activities.

    In this review, we provide an overview of the literature describing different classes of compounds isolated from the genus Polygonum in the last 15 years, with a focus on their reported biological activities.

    Flavonoids are the main secondary metabolites in Polygonum (Polygonaceae) species, structures of which were shown in Figure 1. Kaempferol (1), baicalin (2), quercetin (3), myricetin (4), 7, 4'-dimethyl quercetin (5), 3-methyl quercetin (6), and isoquercetin (7) have been isolated from different species of the genus Polygonum, including P. cuspidatum Sieb et Zucc., P. runcinatum, P. perfoliatum L., P. bistorta L., and P. aviculare L. Li [1] isolated kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin3-0-(3" -0- galloy1- rhamnopyranoside, and juglanin from P. aviculare L [2]. Additionally, myricetin3-O-(3" -O-galloy1- rhamnopyranoside was isolated from Polygonum species, and Yunuskhodzhaeva [3] isolated liquiritin (8), avicularin (9), and cinaroside (10) from P. aviculare L. Lin [4] isolated quercetin-3-O-β-d- galactoside, 8-methoxyl quercetin, 3, 5, 7-trihydroxy chromone (11), apigenin (12), and luteolin (13) from P. jucundum. Peng [5] isolated tricin (14) and 7, 4-dimethoxy kaempferol (15) from P. sieboldii Meisn. Partovi [6] isolated a flavonol with coagulant properties, i.e., 3, 7, 3-trihydroxy-5, 6- dimethoxyflavone (16), from P. bistorta. Kurkina [7] isolated 5-hydroxy-7- methoxyflavanone (17), 6′-hydroxy-2′, 4′-dimethoxy-chalcone (18), and 2′, 6′-dihydroxy-4′, 5′-dimethoxychalcone (19) from P. persicaria. Tantry [8] isolated a new flavone identified as (2R, 3S)-3', 4', 5, 6, 7-pentahydroxyflavan-3-ol (20) from P. amplexicaule. Wang [9] isolated epicatechin (21), epicatechin dimers (22), and epicatechin trimers (23) from P. paleaceum, and Nikolaeva [10] isolated rutin, hyperoside, luteolin-7-glycoside, isoquercetin, avicularin, cosmosiin, and kaempferol glycoside from aerial parts of four Polygonum species (P. divaricatum, P. angustifolium, P. amphibium, and P. aviculare) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Li [11] isolated a new chromone glycoside 7-O-(6′-galloyl)-β-d-glucopyranosyl-5-hydroxychromone (24) from P. capitatum, and Li [12] isolated polyflavanostilbene A (25), a new flavanol-fused stilbene glycoside, from P. cuspidatum.

    Moradi-Afrapoli [13] isolated five phenolic compounds, including quercetin 3-O-α-l- (3" , 5" -diacetyl-arabinofuranoside) (26), quercetin 3-O-α-l-(3" -acetyl-arabinofuranoside) (27), avicularin (28), myricetin 3-O-α-l-(3" , 5" -diacetyl- arabinofuranoside) (29), and myricetin 3-O-α-l- arabinofuranoside (30) from aerial parts of P. hyrcanicum. Zheng [14] isolated two new flavone glycosides, i.e., viviparum A (31), and viviparum B (32), from P. viviparum L.

    Quinones are characteristic components of Polygonum species, such as P. cuspidatum Sieb. et Zucc., P. bistorta L., P. perfoliatum, and P. hydropiper. Some Polygonum species contain chrysophanol (33), emodin (34), rhein (35), emodin-6-methyl-ether (36), aloe-emodin (37), and 6-hydroxy aloemodin (38) as major constituents as well as some other anthraquinones, anthrone, and naphthoquinone. Liu [15] isolated four anthraquinones, including emodin (34), rhein (35), physcion (39), and chrysophanone (40), as well as 2-methoxystypandrone (41), as major active components of P. cuspidatum. Shu [16] isolated three anthraquinones from Rumex japonicus by high-speed counter-current chromatography, and Al-Hazimi [17] isolated four naphthoquinones, including sitosterol (42), oleanolic acid (43), 5, 6, 7, 40-tetramethoxyflavanone (44), and 6-methoxy plumbagin (45). Notably, 6-methoxyplumbagin (42) was also isolated from the acetone extracts of P. aviculare. Zhang [18] isolated two new anthraquinone malonyl glucosides (46 and 47) from P. cuspidatum.

    Few reports have described phenylpropanoid compounds of the genus Polygonum (Polygonaceae). Sun [19] isolated five compounds, including 6-acetyl-3, 6-diferuloylsucrose (48), 2, 4, 6-triacetyl-3-6-diferuloylsucrose (49), 1, 2, 4, 6-tetraacetyl-3, 6-diferuloylsucrose (50), 1, 2, 6-triacetyl-3, 6-diferuloyl-sucrose (51), and 2, 6-diacetyl-3, 6-diferuloylsucrose (52), from P. perfoliatum L., and Wang [20] isolated a new lignan, 8-oxo-pinoresinol (53), from the methanol extract of the tubers of P. perfoliatum L. Xiao [21] isolated two sulfate lignans, sodium(-)-lyoniresinol-2α-sulfate (54) and sodium(+)-isolaricireinol-2α-sulfate (55), from aqueous extracts of the roots of P. cuspidatum. Structures (33-55) were shown in Figure 2.

Compounds 62–66 were isolated from the Polygonum genus for the first time. Mazid [25] identified sitosterone (67) from the petroleum ether fraction and viscozulenic acid (68) from the chloroform fraction of the methanol extracts of P. barbatum L. Bidyut [26] isolated three new sesquiterpenes, i.e., iscozulenic acid methylester (69), viscoazucinic acid (70), and polygosumic acid (71), from the chloroform extracts of aerial parts of P. viscosum by reversed-phase preparative HPLC. Additionally, Yang [27] isolated a new terpenoid saponin, 8-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-3β, 7β-dihydroxy-lup-20(29)-en-28-oate (72), from the fruits of P. orientale. Bidyut [28] isolated a sesquiterpene acid, viscosumic acid (73) from P. viscosum. Karuppiah [29] isolated two cycloartane-type triterpenoids, i.e., 24(E)-ethylidenecycloartanone (74) and 24(E)-ethylidenecycloartan-3α-ol (75), from the rhizomes of P. bistorta. Terpenoids' structures were shown in Figure 3.

Liu [35] isolated a new tannin-related compound identified as 3-methyl-gallic acid 4-O-β-d-(6'-O-3" -methyl- galloyl)-glucopyranoside (97) from the rhizome of P. bistorta L. Additionally, Li [36] isolated three alkaloids, including N-cis-feruloyltyramine (98), N-trans- feruloyltyramine (99), and paprazine (100), from flowers of P. oriental. Smolarz [37] isolated a new carboxystilbene from P. persicaria 2-carboxy-3, 5-methoxy-E-stilbene (101), and Zhou [38] isolated a new ellagic acid derivative, runcinatside (102), with four ellagic acids (103–106) from the roots of P. runcinatum. Yang [39] isolated the new compound neopaleaceolactoside (107), along with nine known compounds, from the EtOAc and n-BuOH extracts of the rhizomes of P. paleaceum. Madhukar [40] identified the new natural product (2)-2-methoxy-2-butenolide-3-cinnamate (108) from the methanol extracts of the aerial parts of P. glabrum. Wang [41] isolated 3, 3, 4′-trimethylellagic acid (109), 3, 3-di-O-methyl ellagic acid (110), 3, 3, 4-tri-O-methylellagic acid-4′-d-glucopyranoside (111), and 3, 3′-di-O-methylellagic acid-4′-O-β-d- glucopyranoside (112) from theethanol extracts of P. runcinatum. Hu [42] isolated rosemary acid (113), caffeic acid (114), and coumaric acid (115) from P. aviculane, and Zhang [43] isolated hirsutine (116) from the genus Polygonum for the first time. Zhang [44] isolated tadeonal (117) and isotadeonal (118) from P. hydropiper Linn., and Shen [45] isolated two new apianen lactones, i.e., guanyeliaoine Ⅰ (119) and guanyeliaoine Ⅱ (120), along with seven known compounds, from P. perfoliatum L. Moreover, Liu [46] isolated the new phenylpropanoid esters vanicoside A′ (121), hydropiperoside-B (122), and hydropiperoside A (123) from P. pubescens Blume.

    In recent years, studies have shown that the genus Polygonum (Polygonaceae) possesses good anticancer and antitumor activities. Moreover, P. cuspidatum has antiviral effects on human immunodeficiency virus [47] and anticancer effects in lung cancer [48], hepatic carcinoma [49-53], colorectal cancer [54], and oral cancer [55]. Intisar [56] isolated 13 phenolic compounds from methanol-water extracts of P. bistorta L. using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography with photodiode-array detection and tandem electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and these compounds were found to show strong cytotoxicity against HCCLM3 cancer cells. Additionally, all the fractions containing phenolic content showed good to strong cytotoxic activity. Manoharan [57] evaluated the cytotoxic activities of P. bistorta against P338, HepG2, J82, HL60 (human leukemia), MCF7, and LL2 cancer cell lines and showed that the chloroform fractions exhibited good activity against P388, HL60, and LL2 cancer cell lines.

    Dai [58] used 3H-TdR incorporation for drug susceptibility testing and found that extracts of P. cuspidatum possessed good inhibitory effects on HepG2 cancer cells. In addition, resveratrol and its glycosides isolated from Rumex gmelini inhibited MCF-7 breast cancer cell proliferation [59] and had obvious inhibitory effects on human and mouse white blood cell hyperplasia [60]. Sun [61] determined the inhibitory effects of petroleum ether extracts of P. orientale (mainly containing alkenes, alkyne hydrocarbons, and esters) on SPAC-1 lung cancer cells, U87 glioma cells, HeLa cervical cancer cells, SGC7901 gastric cancer cells, and KB oral epidermoid carcinoma cells by MTT assays; the extract was found to have inhibitory effects on HeLa and SGC7901 cells.

    Most species of the genus Polygonum (Polygonaceae) have antioxidant effects. P. cuspidatum is a potent anti-oxidative traditional Chinese medicine [62, 63]. Stilbenes and anthraquinones (2-methoxy-6-acetyl-7- methyljuglone) [64] are key compounds possessing antioxidant effects [65]. In addition, (+) - catechin and (-) - epicatechin also showed high radical scavenging activities in DPPH radical scavenging assays [66].

    Ahmad [67] and George [68] found that P. minus showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity. Additionally, Xing [69] investigated the antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of P. perfoliatum L. and found that the methanol extracts had strong antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Chang [70] studied the methanol extracts of P. perfoliatum and evaluated the antioxidant activities of the isolated compounds. Among them, α-tocopherol and methyl trans-ferulate showed significant DPPH free radical scavenging effects, with EC50 values of 11.9 μg/mL and 7.8 μg/mL, respectively. Wang [71] found that the ethanol extracts of runcinate knotweed had strong antioxidant effects. Moreover, Ayaz [72] showed that P. hydropiper was enriched with potent bioactive compounds, which could be used for the treatment of various neurological disorders. Hsu [73] studied the anti-oxidative activities of P. aviculare L. by free radical scavenging assays, superoxide radical scavenging assays, lipid peroxidation assays, and hydroxyl radical-induced DNA strand scission assays strand scission assays and showed that P. aviculare L. extract had strong antioxidant effects.

    Studies have shown that flavonoids from the genus Polygonum (Polygonaceae) have significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. In particular, luteolin has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, potentially through inhibition of the release of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and suppression of nuclear factor-κB-mediated gene expression [74]. In addition, kaempferol and quercetin inhibit the synthesis of inflammatory mediators, such as PGE2, by blocking the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 to relieve inflammation [75-78].

    George [79] found that P. minus possesses potent anti-inflammatory activities, and Song [80] studied the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of Caulis Polygoni Multiflori (Ye Jiao Teng, 夜交藤). The results showed that Caulis Polygoni Multiflori (Ye Jiao Teng, 夜交藤) had strong anti-inflammatory effects on chronic inflammation and no acute inflammation resistance effect. Fan [81] found that quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucuronide showed inhibitory activity against influenza A virus. Additionally, Rahman [82] studied the analgesic activities of the hexane, ethylacetate, and methanol extracts of P. hydropiper using the acetic acid-induced writhing assays. The results showed significant effects on acetic acid-induced writhing. Among the tested extracts, the ethylacetate extract showed the most significant activity.

    P. capitatum exhibits significant anti-inflammatory activities [83-86]. In particular, stilbenes and hydroxyanthraquinones show a broad antibacterial range [87-89]. Using the paper disc diffusion method, researchers showed that P. aviculare L. exhibits good activity against both Gram-negative and Gram- positive bacteria and fungi [90] and that P. glabraum possesses significant antimicrobial activity [91]. ElHaci [92] studied the biological activities of P. maritimum L. from the Algerian coast and found that its activity (methanolic crude extract of P. maritimum; PMCE) was probably due to phenolic compounds present in the extract because PMCE had a very high content of total phenol and showed high anti-bacterial activity against gram-positive bacterial strains (e.g., Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus). Additionally, Majumder [93] investigated the anthelmintic and cytotoxic activities of crude methanolic extracts of P. viscosum and showed that the crude methanolic extract of P. viscosum leaves possessed significant, dose-dependent anthelmintic activity; the activity of the crude extract was comparable to that of standard drugs.

    Polydatin from P. cuspidatum and P. aviculare L. shows anti-obesity effects in obese mice fed a high-fat diet [94-96] and on lipid profiles in hyperlipidemic rabbits [97]. In addition, this compound had inhibitory effects on Coxsackievirus B4 [98] and showed wound healing in rats [99] and has been identified as an inhibitor of the bacterial DNA primase enzyme [100]. Studies have shown that trans-resveratrol from P. cuspidatum and the combined extracts of Morus alba and P. odoratum leaves play protective roles against bone loss [101, 102]. Finally, Datta [103] isolated eight compounds from P. viscosum and showed that these compounds had good inhibitory effects on the central nervous system.

    Plants of the genus Polygonum (Polygonaceae) produce a range of chemical constituents with various pharmacological effects. To date, only some of the species in this genus have been explored. Only 123 compounds have been reported, most of which have not been evaluated to determine their pharmacological effects. Some extracts have showed potential efficacy; for example, extracts from Polygonum species possess anticancer, antitumor, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, and insecticidal effects. Therefore, the genus Polygonum should be investigated and explored further for identification of new drug candidates.
