To summarize the research progress of porana genus plants in chemical constituents and pharmaceutical activities by retrieved litera tures home and abroad. It shows that 33 chemical constituents have been extracted from porana genus plants, including steroids and their glycosides, coumarins and their glycosides, flavonoids and their glycosides, lignans, benzoquinones, terpenes, amides, and phenols. Modern pharmacological research shows that compounds of porana genus plants have a variety of pharmacological activities,such as cardiac effect, anticoagulant, prevention of hyperuricemia, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antibacterial, acaricidal activity, etc. To carry out the studies related to porana plants has the great significance for discovering and developing new medicines and new medicinal resources.
