Abstract:
Berberine is an alkaloid initially isolated from some Chinese medicinal herbs,such as Rhizoma coptidis(Huanglian),preferable for its inexpensiveness and low adverse effects as a broad-spectrum antibiotic in the treatment of various infectious diseases.More and more investigations have shown that berberine has a great potential for the treatment of digestive tract diseases.This paper updates the recent discoveries in the clinical and basic studies of berberine for the treatment of digestive tract diseases.
