Research Progress of Gouqi(Lycium barbarum)and Predictive Analysis on Its Q-markers
Gouqi(Lycium barbarum)is a kind of plant with dual use of medicine and food,and is widely used in health food processing.Studies show that it contains polysaccharide,flavonoids,anthocyanins,procyanidins,alkaloids and other chemical components.It contains various chemical components such as polysaccharides,flavonoids,anthocyanins,proanthocyanidins and alkaloids,and has pharmacological effects such as immune regulation,anti-aging,hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering,antihyper-tensive and anti-tumor effects.This article reviewed the main chemical components and pharmacological effects of Gouqi(Lyci-um barbarum).Based on this,combined with the research ideas of quality marker(Q-marker)theory,it predicted the Q-markers of Gouqi(Lycium barbarum)from traditional efficacy,plant phylogeny,chemical component effectiveness and other as-pects,providing scientific basis for the further development and utilization of Gouqi(Lycium barbarum).
