“…In China, S. tonkinensis has been used as folk medicine to treat sore throat, acute pharyngolaryngeal infection, asthma, jaundice, and allergic dermatitis for hundreds of years [1,2]. Phytochemical investigations have shown that S. tonkinensis is rich in flavonoids [3,4,5,6,7,8], quinolizidine alkaloids [9,10,11], and arylbenzofurans [12,13]. Recent pharmacological studies have indicated that the flavonoids from S. tonkinensis showed pretty good anti-inflammatory [14,15,16], neuroprotective [17], hypoglycemic [18], anti-tumor [8,10], anti-allergic [12], and antioxidant [13] activities.…”
