Rattan tea, made from the leaves of Ampelopsis grossedentata, may potentially perform multiple pharmacological roles, including anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, antioxidant, hepatoprotective and anti-hypertension functions. These beneficial functions of Rattan tea are strongly associated with the bioactivity of ampelopsin, a major flavonoid compound in Rattan tea. In this review, we summarize current research related to the bioactivity and pharmacological mechanisms of ampelopsin, which will provide a better reference for its potential application in the prevention of chronic diseases.
