Abstract
Jujubosides are a class of compounds with unique bioactivities in Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, mainly consisting of tetracyclic and pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins. Various extraction processes have been developed, and their efficiencies differ. The combined use of multiple extraction methods is expected to improve extraction performance. Jujubosides exhibit significant biological activities, including improvement of insomnia, alleviation of cognitive impairment, antidepressant, anticancer, anti -aging, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective effects. Research on their structure -activity relationships is still being continuously deepened. This article reviews the structures, extraction processes, and biological activities of jujubosides, and prospects the in -depth development and efficient utilization of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen in fields such as health product development and drug research.
