Research Progress of Chemical Constituents and Pharmacological Action of Paeonia tactilora Pall.

Paeonia tactilora Pall.(Paeonia alba)is the dry root of Paeonia in Ranunculaceae.It has the functions of nourishing blood and regulating meridians,gathering yin and stopping perspiration,softening Liver and relieving pain,as well as calming Liver-yang.This study reviewed the chemical constituents and pharmacological studies of Paeonia alba in recent years.It is found that the chemical constituents of Paeonia alba mainly include volatile oils,monoterpenes,triterpenes and flavonoids.The monoterpenes and their glycosides represented by paeoniflorin and paeoniflorin are generally recognized as effective substances in Paeonia alba,and paeoniflorin has the highest content and is the quality control index.Paeonia alba has a wide range of pharmacological effects of anti-inflammatory and analgesia,anti-depression,anti-cancer,anti-thrombus,reducing blood lipid and blood sugar,protecting liver,as well as improving myocardial hypertrophy,osteoarthritis,strabismus amblyopia and the influence of ischemia-reperfusion;it has effect on defecation,reducing toxicity and increasing efficiency,and it also has the therapeutic effect on oral lichen planus,scleroderma and hyperlactatemia.
