Abstract:
Radix Bupleuri has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2000 years with functions of relieving exterior syndrome,clearing heat,regulating liver-qi,and lifting yang-qi.Its medicinal properties have been widely used in Eurasia and North Africa.As the main bioactive compounds in Radix Bupleuri,saikosaponins(especially saikosaponin A and saikosaponin D)have anti-inflammatory,anti-tumor,antioxidant,antivirus,immune regulatory,and liver protective effects.This article reviews the pharmacological activity,mechanism of action,and current applica-tion status of saikosaponins,in order to provide new insights for further research and development of Radix Bupleuri.
