Abstract:
Macleaya cordata, a perennial plant in the genus Macleaya, it mainly distributed in most provinces and regions south of the Yangtze river and north of Nanling mountains of China and has been used as a Chinese traditional medicine. It is bitter, cold, warm, poisonous. M. cordata has the functions of dispelling wind, analgesia, detoxification and detumescence. It mainly treats poisonous abscess, cachexia, ulcer, scabies, trichomonal vaginitis, etc. It also has insecticidal and anti-itching activities. The main chemical constituents of M. cordata are isoquinoline alkaloids, sanguinarine, chelerythrine, protoopioid and allocrine alkaloids are the higher ones. In addition, it also contains phenylpropanoids, steroids, organic acids, phenols and volatile oils. The pharmacological effects of M. cordata are mainly anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and improving liver function. In agriculture, it can be used as botanical insecticides and bacteriostasis, and also as feed additives for animal husbandry. By reviewing and analyzing domestic and foreign researches that isoquinolines were the main active constituents and characteristic components of M. cordata. This paper provides theoretical basis for the development and utilization of M. cordata extract and its' monomer compounds.
