Abstract：Objective: Literature about Fructus Figustri Lucidi in the last decade was reviewed to provide a reference for further research and development. Methods: 75 literatures were summarized according to chemical composition, pharmacological action, processing and quality control method. Results: The main chemical components of Fructus Figustri Lucidi were terpenoids, flavonoids, phenethyl alcohol glycosides, volatile oils, phospholipids, polysaccharides, fatty acids, amino acids, and etc. It is reported that its main pharmacological effects were hepatoprotective, immune regulation, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and etc. The main processing methods were steaming with wine, stewing with wine, stir-frying with salt-water, steaming with vinegar. Chemical composition and pharmacological effects were influenced by the processing method. TLC and HPLC were adopted as the main QC method. Conclusion: Fructus Figustri Lucidi was reported as one herbal tonic, which had significant pharmacological effects on degenerative disease, especially on the old. As one effective edible herbs, Fructus Figustri Lucidi should be studied comprehensively. In addition, ingredients of different polarity should all be taken into account in the further study.
