Based on "Medicinal Part-Chemical Component-Pharmacological Activity-Nature, Taste, and Effect" Correlations of Thorny Medicinal Plants增强出版
To make statistics on the biological characteristics, medicinal parts, chemical components, and other aspects of thorny medicinal plants and systematically analyze the correlations between their natures, tastes, and meridian tropism, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application and resource development of these plants.
Method
2
The
Chinese Pharmacopoeia
(2020 edition) and the processing standards of various provinces and cities and other related documents were reviewed, on the basis of which 46 species of thorny medicinal plants were selected. The natures, tastes, meridian tropism, medicinal parts, chemical components, pharmacological activities, and geographical distribution of these plants were summarized and analyzed in Excel 2013 and SPSS Statistics 26.0.
Result
2
The 46 species of thorny medicinal plants belonged to 25 families, 1 class, 1 phylum of 1 kingdom. In terms of the location of thorns, the frequency of these medicinal plants followed the trend of leaf thorns>peel thorns>branch thorns>fruit thorns. In terms of the nature, taste, and meridian tropism, the frequency of these plants was in the orders of warm>plain>cold>cool>hot, bitter>sweet>pungent>sour>salty, and liver>lung>spleen=large intestine>heart>kidney, respectively. In terms of the medicinal parts, the frequency followed the trend of roots and rhizomes>fruits>whole plants>flowers>leaves. The thorny medicinal plants were mainly distributed in north and southwest China. The thorny medicinal plants mainly contained flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins and had the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, resolving stasis and eliminating carbuncle, moving Qi and relieving pain, and alleviating edema and expelling pus. Moreover, 24 of them had anti-tumor activity.
Conclusion
2
Most of the thorny medicinal plants belong to Compositae, Leguminosae, and Rosaceae, have leaf thorns, a warm nature, a bitter taste, tropism to the liver meridian, and roots as the medicinal part. These plants are mainly distributed in north China, with the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, resolving stasis and eliminating carbuncle. In summary, the thorn location, distribution, and medicinal parts of thorny medicinal plants are correlated with the natures, tastes, and meridian tropism. The findings provide clues for the development and utilization of these plants.
