Abstract:
Poria cocos is a traditional Chinese medicine with homology of medicine and food in China. It has the effects of promoting diuresis, eliminating dampness, invigorating spleen, calming heart and so on. It is widely used in medicine, food and health care products. With the in-depth study of P. cocos, its triterpenes, polysaccharides and other major chemical components, as well as its wide range of pharmacological effects and application development research have attracted much attention. This paper systematically reviewed the chemical components and pharmacological effects of P. cocos, according to the concept of quality markers, the quality markers of P. cocos were predicted and analyzed from the aspects of the biosynthetic approach and specificity of chemical components, traditional medicinal efficacy, traditional medicinal properties, measurable components, different processing methods and so on, which provides a scientific basis for quality evaluation and product development of P. cocos.
