Abstract
Iris milky-white (Iris lactea Pall.) is a herbaceous perennial plant from the Iridaceae Juss. family. The geographic area in which the plant can be found covers regions of Eastern Siberia, Trans-Baikal, Japan, eastern Mongolia, north-eastern China, as well as the Korean peninsula. This review includes the plants botanical description, chemical composition, together with the description of biological and pharmacological activity of I. lactea. Phenolic compounds can be distinguished as the main secondary metabolites of Iris milky-white, among which the most characteristic are: flavonoids, namely, flavone C-glycosides (embinin and its derivatives), isoflavonoids (irison B, tectorigenin, etc.) and xanthones (mangiferin, bellidifolin, etc.). Among other compounds of polyphenolic nature, flavanones, flavan-3-ols, phenolcarboxylic acids, stilbenoids, benzophenones and quinones were identified in I. lactea. The use of I. lactea in both traditional and modern medicine is mainly based on the presence of isoflavones in its extracts, which have been identified as «phytoestrogens». It was also found that herbal extracts of I. lactea possess immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory, antihypoxant, cardiotonic, antioxidant, antiviral, cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities. Thus, we can conclude the Iris milky-white is a promising source of biologically active substances with a wide range of action and it is necessary to study the chemical diversity of its compounds as fully as possible.
