Research Progress on the Chemical Components and Pharmacological Effects of <i>Astragalus </i><i>membranaceus</i>

黄芪是临床应用率较高的中药之一，在补气方面的功效堪比人参，因此又被誉为“小人参”。随着医疗技术的不断发展，有关黄芪化学成分和药理作用的相关研究越来越多。黄芪多糖、皂苷、黄酮等是黄芪内含的主要化学成分，同时黄芪具备多种显著的药理作用，并在疾病治疗，养生保健等领域发挥着重要作用。本文主要通过梳理近年相关研究，对黄芪的化学成分和药理作用展开综述。Astragalus membranaceus is one of the traditional Chinese medicines with a high clinical application rate. Its efficacy in tonifying qi is comparable to that of Ginseng, and thus it is also known as “Little Ginseng”. With the continuous development of medical technology, there are more and more related studies on the chemical components and pharmacological effects of Astragalus membranaceus. Astragalus polysaccharides, saponins, flavonoids and other substances are the main chemical components contained in Astragalus. Meanwhile, Astragalus has a variety of significant pharma-cological effects and plays an important role in disease treatment, health preservation and other fields. This article mainly reviews the chemical components and pharmacological effects of Astragalus membranaceus by sorting out relevant studies in recent years.
