Research Progress in Extraction and Purification,Pharmacological Action and Carrier Application of Pilose Antler Peptide
The pilose antler peptide(VAP)extracted from traditional Chinese medicine Lurong(pilose antler)has many functions,such as anti-bone injury,anti-tumor,anti-nerve disease,anti-oxidation,anti-inflammatory,protection of the five viscera and promotion of wound healing.It is one of the important bioactive components of Lurong(pilose antler).This paper systematically reviewed the methods of extraction,separation and purification of VAP,and summarized the chemical composition and structure of known VAP.In addition,this paper also reviewed the research progress of new dosage forms of VAP related carri-ers.Combining VAP with some polymer materials to increase pharmacological activity or reduce adverse reactions provided a ba-sis for further research of VAP and its carrier application.
