Abstract:
The antidepressive effect of Xiaoyaosan is obvious, however, the active ingredients with potential antidepressive activity and their mechanism remain unclear. In this paper, by two ways of the effects to active ingredients and the active ingredients to mechanism, the antidepressive active ingredients and their mechanism of Xiaoyaosan are summarized. Xiaoyaosan as a classic antidepressant Chinese prescription is further confirmed with many advantages, such as multi-level, multi-channel, multi-target, and so on.
