Abstract:
Mori Cortex is the dry root bark of Moras alba L. and usually used in clinical practice. It is sweet and cold in nature, and enters the lung meridian. With effects in purging lung and relieving asthma, and inducing diuresis to reduce edema, it is mainly used to treat lung heat, asthma, cough, swelling, urine deficiency and facial skin edema. In clinic, it is mainly used for the treatment of respiratory system, urinary infection and diabetes mellitus. In recent years, great progress has been made in studies on the pharmacological effects of Mori Cortex. The literatures on the pharmacological effects of Mori Cortex in recent years were reviewed and summarized in this paper. Mori Cortex has antitussive, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, cardiovascular, antiviral, anticancer, immunoregulatory, antioxidation and anti-allergy and other pharmacological effects, in addition to antitussive, expectorant, antiasthmatic and other traditional effects. Total flavones have a strong pharmacological activity. These extended studies provide valuable reference for the further development of Mori Cortex. This paper summarizes the pharmacological effects of Mori Cortex, proposes the key directions of further studies, and provides the beneficial reference for better development and utilization of Mori Cortex.
