With the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, anti-inflammatory anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, consumption of fat and other lipid-lowering pharmacological activity. Most of this genus of plants in China as a folk medicine to prevent and cure diseases. In this paper the past six years the holly genus of chemical composition and pharmacological activity of the research are reviewed, verified from the perspective of chemical composition of the kinship of the species, as well as the rational development and utilization of drug information resources to provide reference. [Keywords:] Ilex; chemical composition; pharmacological activity Abstract: There are many active constituents in Ilex L., such as triterpenes and triterpenoid saponins, flavonoids, coumarins, lignans, etc. They have the pharmacological activities of protecting cardiovascular system, antitumor, anti-inflammation, antibacteria, reducing blood pressure and blood lipid. A number of species among them have been used as folk medicine. This article which reviewed the studies on the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities in recent 6 years will be beneficial to reveal the relatives among these medicinal plants in the Ilex L. and be helpful to develop new drugs.
