Classification,Identification and Research Progress of Commonly Used Varieties of Qianhu(Peucedanum)
The distribution and resource overview of medicinal plants,classification characteristics of plant medicinal materials and decoction pieces,and research progress on chemical pharmacological effects of seven commonly used varieties of Qianhu(Peucedanum)were systematically summarized.The chemical composition and pharmacological research of Baihua Qianhu(Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn),Zihua Qianhu[Angelica decursiva(Miquel)Franchet & Savatier],and Yingqianhu {including Huabei Qianhu(Peucedanum harry-smithii Fedde ex Wolff)and/or Shaomao Beiqianhu[Peucedanum harry-smithii Fedd.ex Wolff var.subglabrum(Shan et.Sheb)Shan et.Sheb]} are relatively in-depth,while the chemical composition and pharmacological effects of Huazhong Qianhu(Peucedanum medicum Dunn),Maoqianhu[Ligusticopsis brachyloba(Franch.)Leute],Changqianhu(Peucedanum turgeniifolium Wolff),and Hanqianhu[Ligusticopsis daucoides(Franch.)Lavrova et Kljuykov]are relatively less studied.Further in-depth research can be conducted to expand the resource medicinal value of common Qianhu medicinal materials.
