The pharmacological investigation revealed that Cotoneaster racemiflora possessed antioxidant, cytotoxic, radioprotective, mutagenic, antimutagenic, antibacterial and enzyme inhibitory activities. In the current paper, the cemical constituents, pharmacological and therapeutic effects of Cotoneaster racemiflora are reviewed. Keywords constituents, Cotoneaster racemiflora, pharmacology, terapeutic Introduction Since ancient times, plants have been used by communities to treat the diseases, the pharmacological investigations revealed that plant produced a wide range of secondary metabolites, which were used as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavours, fragrances, colours, biopesticides and food additives [1-30]. Many compounds were isolated from Cotoneaster racemiflora included racemiside A; cotonoate A; cotonoate B; 7,8- dimethoxy-6-hydroxycoumarin; 3,3,4-Tri-O-methylellagic acid; cereotagloperoxide; scopoletin; β- sittosterol; ursolic acid; β- sittosterol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside; aromatic esters (cotonoates A and B); methyl 3,4-dihydroxy- 5-methoxybenzoate; Racemiside, scopoletin, 7,8-dimethoxy-6-hydroxycoumarin, 3,3',4'-tri-O-methylellagic acid, cereotagloperoxide, a manna-like substance (shir-khist); sugars and phenolic compounds.
