Correlation Analysis of Rattan from Chinese Medicine Based on Habit-habitat-medicinal Parts-property and Efficacy / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveThe relevant laws among the growth habits， habitat， medicinal site and sex， taste and efficacy of rattan derived traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） were explored to strengthen the demonstration of the quality theory and to provide theoretical basis for the clinical use and resource development of rattan. MethodThe characteristics， effects， parts， families and growth habits of some TCM from rattan were analyzed. By referring to Chinese Flora， Chinese Materia Medica， Chinese Materia Medica Dictionary and other literature， a total of 48 kinds of Rattan from Chinese medicines included in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia were screened out， and their property and meridian tropism， medicinal parts， habitat and classification of TCM were statistically analyzed. Excel 2013 and SPSS Statistics 26.0 were employed for statistical research. ResultThe results of the analysis of rattan derived Chinese medicine showed that in the families and genera， Tetrandaceae > Dioscorea > Leguminoa > Cucurbitaceae > Woodtonaceae， etc. In the nature， cold > warm > flat > cool > hot； Bitter > sweet > octane > acid. In the liver meridian， liver > lung > heart > spleen > stomach = bladder = kidney > large intestine. In medicinal parts， root and rhizome > vine stem > fruit seed > flower > vascular bundle = whole grass. In terms of habitat distribution， Guangdong > Guangxi > Yunnan > Fujian > Zhejiang， et al. In the classification of TCM， dispelling wind and dampness > clearing heat > improving water and dampness > promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. ConclusionRattan from TCM are mainly cold in nature， bitter in flavors， and entered liver meridian， and the root and stem of Rattan are mainly used in medicine， mostly distributed in the southeast coast of China. The main effects are to channel and activate collaterals， dispel wind and dehumidification， promote blood circulation and relieve pain， clear heat and detoxify. The morphology habit， growth environment and medicinal parts of Rattan from Chinese medicine were correlated with the property and efficacy. There was a certain correlation between the growth habits， habitat and medicinal site of rattan derived Chinese medicine and its sexual and taste effect， which provided reference for the development and utilization of rattan derived Chinese medicine resources.
