Chemical components and functions of Taxus chinensis extract
Abstract Taxus chinensis is a National level protected plant and has been for a long time, since it grows slowly and has low regenerative capacity. Consequently, no large base of raw material forest of taxus was formed. This study used Taxus chinensis as the study object, for analyzing the chemical composition of T.
