Chemical Constituents and Pharmacological Effect of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ABSTRACT

Lonicerae Japonicae Flos is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine with a long history. It has the functions of detoxification, heat dissipation and heat dissipation, with a high medicinal value. It is mainly distributed in Henan, Shandong, Guangdong and other places. Researches have shown that the chemical constituents of honeysuckle mainly include organic acids, flavonoids, iridoid glycosides, three terpenoid glycosides, three terpenoid glycosides and volatile oils. And the pharmacological effects of honeysuckle are mainly anti-inflammation and antipyretic, anti-tumor, anti-bacteria, anti-virus, anti-aging and anti-oxidation, lowering blood sugar, protecting liver, protecting lung, neuroprotective, enhancing immune function and anti-platelet aggregation. Because of its rich pharmacological effects and high medicinal value, it has been used in a variety of prescriptions, with wide clinical applications and its large social demands. In this paper, we have reviewed the literatures on the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of honeysuckle in recent years, and learned that many scholars have studied it, isolated a variety of new chemical components from honeysuckle for the first time and studied the pharmacological effects of honeysuckle in detail. In this paper, we reviewed the research progress of chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, providing references for more people to learn related knowledge of honeysuckle and a scientific basis for the development and utilization of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos.
