Research Progress of Gancao(Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma)on Attenuating Toxicity and Enhancing Effect of Leigongteng(Tripterygii Radix)in Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Leigongteng(Tripterygii Radix),often used to treat rheumatic diseases,has encouraging results in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA).However,its use is limited due to its potential toxic side effects.In traditional Chinese medicine,Gan-cao(Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma)is often used as an antitoxic drug.This study reviewed recent literature and highlighted the potential of Gancao(Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma)in alleviating the toxic effects of Leigongteng(Tripterygii Radix)in the treatment of RA and increasing the therapeutic efficacy.By influencing the body's response and drug metabolism,Leigongteng(Tripterygii Radix)plays an important role.It is worth noting that the previous comments did not adequately address this aspect.This study aims to provide valuable insights for the safe utilization of Leigongteng(Tripterygii Radix),provide a theoretical basis for further research on the pathogenesis of RA,and provide new ideas for the development of traditional Chinese medicine com-pounds and new drugs.
