Research Progress of Yupingfeng Powder(玉屏风散)and Predictive Analysis on Quality Markers(Q-Marker)
Yupingfeng Powder(玉屏风散)is a classic prescription for strengthening the body and strengthening the founda-tion.It is mainly used to treat the syndrome of self sweating due to the exterior deficiency.It has pharmacological effects such as anti-tumor,anti-inflammatory,antibacterial,antiviral and immune regulating effects.Modern clinical practice mostly uses it to treat colds,allergic rhinitis,bronchial asthma,pneumonia,nephrotic syndrome,chronic nephritis and so on.This article summa-rized the chemical composition,pharmacological effect and clinical application of Yupingfeng Powder in recent years,and predic-ted and analyzed the quality markers of Yupingfeng Powder based on the"five principles"of traditional Chinese medicine quality markers(Q-marker),revealing that cimifugin,4'-O-β-D-glucosyl-5-O-methylvisamminol,wogonin,quercetin,kaempferol,sec-O-glucosylhamaudol,formononetin,atractylenolide Ⅰ-Ⅲ,astragaloside Ⅰ-Ⅱ,calyosin,calyosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside,β-sitosterol,baicalein,soyasaponin,astragaloside Ⅳ,isostragaloside Ⅰ-Ⅱ,β-amyrin and marmesinin could be used as Q-markers of Yupingfeng Powder,which could provide scientific reference for establishing the quality control system of Yupingfeng Powder.
