Latest Advancements Research on Pharmacological Activity of Polysaccharides in Chinese Medicine
In recent years,polysaccharides in traditional Chinese medicine have become a hot spot in the development and application of natural medicines due to their low toxicity and side effects,diverse pharmacological activities,and broad application prospects.We tracked the research on polysaccharides in traditional Chinese medicine in recent years,summarized the anti-tumor,immunomodulatory,glucose and lipid metabolism,intestinal microbiota,antioxidant,and other pharmacological activities of traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides,and analyzed the factors affecting the pharmacological activities of traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides.The limitations of the current research on polysaccharides in traditional Chinese medicine was analyzed and the future application prospects of polysaccharides in traditional Chinese medicine was presented,to achieve three aims:first,to improve the utilization rate of traditional Chinese medicines,second,to clarify the pharmacological activity of traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides,and third,to accelerate the transformation and application of traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides.
