The plants of genus Celastrus , distributed in Asia, have been used as natural insecticides and folk medicines to treat fever, chill, joint pain, edema, rheumatoid arthritis, and bacterial infection in China for a long time. This contribution reviews the chemical constituents, 1 – 144 , isolated from the plants in genus Celastrus in the past few decades, and their biological activities. The compounds listed are sesquiterpenes ( β ‐agarofurans), diterpenes, triterpenes, alkaloids, and flavonoids.
