The results show that the main active ingredients of Sijunzi decoction include ginsenosides, atractylenolide, pachymic acid, glycyrrhizic acid, etc.; Sijunzi decoction and its effective ingredients can play an anti-gastric cancer role by inhibiting the proliferation of gastric cancer cell, inducing apoptosis of gastric cancer cell, enhancing gastric cancer cell chemotherapy sensitivity, and inhibiting invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cell.
