“…Among which, H. paniculiflorum is a Chinese endemic plant, only distributed in China’s Hainan Island [1]. Previous phytochemical investigations on the genus have afforded various types of compounds including phenolic glycosides, xanthenes, iridoids, coumarins, triterpenoids and alkaloids, which showed a wide variety of interesting bioactivities including anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-viral, anti-plasmodial, hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic activities [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11].
