Research Progress of Cynanchum komarovii 　　Abstract. In recent years， there have been lots of progresses in the studies on Cynanchum komarovii （C.komarovii） in China， included the chemical compositions and biological activities. The purpose of this paper was mainly review this characteristics detailedly. 　　Key words： Cynanchum komarovii； Chemical composition； Biological activity； Research progress 　　1. Introduction 　　Cynanchum komarovii Al Iljinski （Asclepiadaceae） is a wild shrub， widely distributed in the northwest part of China， and is used as a Chinese herbal medicine. In recent years， domestic research showed that the C.komarovii contained not only some inorganic element， but also a variety of biological chemical composition， such as alkaloids， naphtha， flavonoids， polysaccharides， steroids and glucoside， fatty acid and fatty acid ester， aromatic compounds. And the extracts of C.komarovii have biological activity of antiinflammatory， antibacterial， antitumor， relieve a cough， eliminate the phlegm， smoothing asthma and the immunity function， etc. C.komarovii has been used to pesticides and nectar source in agriculture， at the same time C.komarovii plays an important role in the construction of vegetation [2]. Therefore， this characteristics of C.komarovii will be reviewed as follows.Introduction 　　2. The chemical ingredients of Cynanchum komarovii 　　2.1 Inorganic elements. Lin[3] adopted spectrum half-quantitative analysis method determined inorganic composition of C.komarovii， the results showed that the grass contained 27 inorganic elements， which was barium， beryllium， chromium， lead， zinc， copper， nickel， zirconium， titanium， yt， yb， manganese and iron， aluminum， cobalt， tin， gallium， silver， molybdenum， vanadium， strontium， calcium， magnesium， potassium， sodium， silicon and phosphor respectively. The highest content was potassium， higher than 10% of the total inorganic content. Nitrogen， phosphorus and potassium were the three main elements in fer
