[Pharmaphylogenetic study on isopyroideae (Ranunculaceae)].
OBJECTIVE
To study the pharmaphylogenetic of medicinal plants of Isopyroideae (Ranunculaceae).


METHODS
Comprehensively analyze the correlation between phylogeny, chemical constituents and pharmaceutical aspects of Isopyroideae plants, based on chemical, pharmaceutical (both ethnopharmacologic and pharmacological) information, linking with different plant systems of Ranunculaceae.


RESULTS
Plants from Aquilegia mainly contain flavonoids constituents while the major chemical constituents of Isopyrum are bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids. Chemical characteristics also support that this taxon should be separated from Thalictrodeae, and constituted an independent subfamily, namely, Isopyroideae.
