Abstract: With the continuous deepening of the research on the traditional Chinese medicine Lycium chinense, it is found that its chemical components are rich and diverse, including alkaloids, polysaccharides, flavonoids, phenylpropanoids and so on. Lycium chinense has a variety of pharmacological activities such as liver and kidney protection, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, anti-tumor, neuroprotective activity, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, hypoglycemic and so on, and its pharmacological effect research is also expanding. In this paper, the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Lycium chinense and Lycium barbarum are reviewed, which can provide reference for the value excavation and resource development of Lycium chinense.

Key words: Lycium chinense, chemical constituent, pharmacological activity
