Research progress on biological activity,mechanisms of action and application of Houttuynia cordata
Houttuynia cordata,known as a dual-use plant for both medicine and food,contains various functional components such as flavonoids and polysaccharides.It exhibits multiple bioactivities,including antibacterial,antiviral,anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,anticancer,and immune-regulating effects.The mechanisms underlying its bioactivities are complex and involve the regulation of multiple biological signaling pathways.Currently,Houttuynia cordata is widely used in traditional medicine,functional foods,and cosmetics.Its diverse bioactivities and complex mechanisms suggest a broad application potential.However,further in-depth studies are necessary to elucidate its specific mechanisms of action and ensure safety,thereby promoting its applications in the fields of medicine and health care.This article reviewed the biological activity and mechanism of action of Houttuynia cordata,and summarized the current application status of Houttuynia cordata in medical and healthcare fields,in order to provide reference for further development of Houttuynia cordata.
