Effects of Different Processing Methods on Chemical Constituents and Pharmacological Action of Gancao(Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizoma)
Objective To study the effects of different processing methods on the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Gancao(Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizoma).Methods By analyzing and comparing the related articles about the effects of processing on the chemical constituents and pharmacological actions of Gancao(Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizoma).Results There are many processing methods of Gancao(Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizoma)and they are widely used in clinic,but different pro-cessing methods will affect its chemical composition,and then affect its pharmacological effect.Conclusion The concoction of tra-ditional Chinese medicine is closely related to the clinical use of drugs.Only when the proper concoction is used in medicine,can it play a better role in the clinical use of drugs,the effects of different processing methods on chemical components and pharmaco-logical effects of Gancao(Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizoma)were clarified in order to provide some references for further develop-ment and utilization of Gancao(Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizoma).
