Abstract:
Curcuma longa, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, which is warm in nature, acrid and bitter in taste. It has the effects of supplementing qi and activating blood circulation, treating amenorrhea, and pain relief. It was first collected in the Annotation of Materia Medica with long medication history. In this paper, chemical composition and main pharmacological activities of C. longa were summarized, and the quality markers of C. longa were predicted and analyzed based on traditional efficacy and modern research. It is suggested that the identification and quantification of ar-turmerone, α-turmerone, β-turmerone, curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, and flavonoids should be carried out and the further research of the chemical group of terpenoids and sterols from C. longa should be focused, which could provide scientific basis for clarifying the quality marker (Q-marker) and quality evaluation research of C. longa.
