Abstract:
Fel Ursi(bear bile) has been used as medicine for a long history, with wide clinical applications and definite curative efficacy. Fel Ursi has good pharmacodynamic activities in the treatment of liver and gallbladder diseases, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. According to the places of origin, traditional Fel Ursi is divided into "Dongdan" and "Nandan". According to the gallbladder properties, it is divided into "Jindan" "Tiedan" "Caihuadan", and "Youdan". With the development of bear bile drainage technology, Pulvis Fellis Ursi has entered the market and been used clinically instead of Fel Ursi. At present, obtaining artificial Pulvis Fellis Ursi by chemical compounding and biotransformation is the hotspot in medical research, which can solve the shortage problem of bear bile resources, and also protect endangered animals. The quality problem of Fel Ursi in the market is prominent, with counterfeit products prepared from sheep bile, cow bile, pig bile, and chicken bile. Due to the scarcity of bear bile resources, the related research contents are scattered, and there is a lack of systematic analysis and summary. This paper focused on the development of Fel Ursi to clarify the source and classification of traditional Fel Ursi, and summarized the harvesting, processing, identification, and use of Fel Ursi. Additionally, the paper also compared the quality standards of Fel Ursi, summarized the technological development process of Pulvis Fellis Ursi, and prospected the modern research and clinical application of Pulvis Fellis Ursi, which is expected to provided references for the collation of bear bile resources, the clinical application of Fel Ursi, the development of Fel Ursi drugs, and related research on artificial Pulvis Fellis Ursi.
