刺槐属(Robinia L.)植物包括20个种。在苏联分布的有三种:毛刺槐(R.hispida L.)、刺槐(或洋槐)(R.pseudoacacia L.)及R.viscosa Vent.。在民间医学中,常利用刺槐花序的水煎剂治疗痉挛,具有收敛、解痉、退热和祛痰作用,是用以治疗胃病、膀胱炎、风湿性关节炎和妇科疾病的药物。有效化学成分从刺槐中已分离得许多化合物,其结构亦已确定。研究结果表明,刺槐种子的脂肪油含有大量维生素E;花中含有碳氢化合物;花、叶和木部都含有矿物元素;叶片含有靛蓝甙和丁香甙、维生素C和维生素A;树皮中含有一种有毒蛋白即洋槐毒素和7%鞣质。后二者在叶中也含有。刺槐的酚类化合物的分离和化学研究已进行大量工作。Zwenger等最先(1861年)从刺槐花中分离出主要的甙——洋槐甙。Perkin Robinia L. plants include 20 species. There are three species distributed in the Soviet Union: R. hidpida L., R. pseudoacacia L. and R. viscosa Vent. In folk medicine, often using acacia flower decoction spasm, with convergence, antispasmodic, antipyretic and expectorant effect, is used to treat stomach, cystitis, rheumatoid arthritis and gynecological diseases. The active chemical constituents have been isolated from Robinia pseudoacacia many compounds, the structure has also been identified. The results show that the fatty oil of Robinia pseudoacacia seeds contains a large amount of vitamin E, the flowers contain hydrocarbons, the flowers, leaves and woods contain mineral elements; the leaves contain isodose and syringin, vitamin C and vitamin A; the bark contains A toxic protein called acacia toxin and 7% tannin. The latter two are also contained in the leaves. A great deal of work has been done on the isolation and chemical studies of phenolic compounds in locusts. Zwenger et al (1861) first isolated from the acacia flowers glycosides - acacia glycosides. Perkin
