ABSTRACT

The prescription Qifuyin is composed of traditional Chinese herbal medicines,Ginseng Radix et Rhi- zoma,Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata,Angelicae Sinensis Radix,Atractylodes Macrocephalae Rhizoma Tostum,Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata Cum Melle,Ziziphi Spinosae Semen and Polygalae Radix Praeparata,and Qifuyin is used to treat dementia in clinic. In order to clarify the chemical components contained and lay the foundation for further exploring pharmacodynamic substances in Qifuyin,this paper summarizes and analyzes research results on the chemical components of 7 individual herbs and the whole Qifuyin prescription in the past 10 years,and discusses the relationship of components between the 7 individual herbs and the whole prescription. The results showed that there were 1227 components in 7 herbs,including 594 volatile oils,232 triterpenes,136 organic acids,96 flavonoids,56 glycosides,23 alka- loids,21 amino acids,18 coumarins,16 saccharides,14 steroids,13 oligosaccharide esters and 5 other compounds. There were 154 components in Qifuyin,including 67 triterpenes,23 oligosaccharide esters,11 volatile oils,10 glyco- sides,9 alkaloids,9 organic acids and 3 other compounds. There are obvious differences in the types and quantities of chemical components in Qifuyin and related single herb.
