摘要Metabolic syndrome(MetS)has been a growing public health concern worldwide without specific medicine.Through summarizing the chemical structure type and effect mechanisms of natural products targeted on farnesoid X receptor(FXR),to provide the research basis for exploring the treatment of MetS.The following databases were searched for natural products which targeting FXR:PubMed,Embase,the Cochrane Library,Web of Science,China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database,Wanfang Database,China Science and Technology Journal Database,and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database.Totally 120 natural products were summarized,including terpenoids(51 compounds),steroidal saponins(27 compounds),phenylpropanolds(19 compounds),flavonoids(13 compounds),alkaloids(3 compounds)and others(7 compounds),most researches focus on terpenoids and part of synthetic FXR regulators were based on the structure of terpenoids.FXR regulators could improve cholestasis and liver injury,hyperlipidemia,diabetes and atherosclerosis.FXR is a potential target of treating MetS.Natural products are characteristics with unique novel structures and special biological activity,and they are important sources of bioactive precursor compounds and drug discovery.Exploring the effects and mechanism of natural products and its derivative on MetS by targeting FXR may be a new way to develop the new drugs of treating MetS.
