By consulting recent literature

this article summarized the advances in studies on chemical composition

pharmacologic action

processing and quality control of Pseudostellariae Radix.In recent years various kinds of compounds have been separated first time from Pseudostellariae Radix;related reports have been made about the fact that Pseudostellariae Radix can improve chronic heart failure or memory

lower blood sugar and resist oxidation

and also about the primary processing condition of Pseudostellariae Radix;the theoretical basis for us to remove fibrous roots has been proposed.The content of Pseudostellarin B

saponin

polysaccharide

heavy metal has been determined;amino acid and volatility composition have been analyzed;the research has been made on pesticide residue and fingerprint of Pseudostellariae Radix.The reference has been provided for the further research into Pseudostellariae Radix.
