Arctium lappa is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb,mainly containing lignans,volatile oils,fatty acids,terpenoids,phenolic acids and other compounds,with anti-inflammatory,antibacte-rial,anticancer and anti-diabetic effects.In this paper,based on the systematic excavation and analysis of chemical composition and pharmacological effects of A.lappa,the quality markers of A.lappa were predicted and analyzed in terms of plant relatives,traditional medicinal properties,network pharmaco-logical prediction and chemical composition measurability.The components of burdock glycosides,burdock sapogenins,chlorogenic acid,isochlorogenic acid A,isochlorogenic acid B and isochlorogen-ic acid C were preliminarily screened as quality markers of A.lappa.It would provide reference for the formation of modern quality evaluation model of A.lappa based on quality-effect correlation and further development and utilization.
