《中华本草》艾叶条目下7种植物的形态学与化学成分比较研究

Morphology and chemical constituents of seven plants in item Folium Artemisiae Argyi in Chinese Materia Medica

目的探究《中华本草》艾叶条目下7种蒿属艾组植物,即艾、蒙古蒿、魁蒿、五月艾、野艾蒿、红足蒿与北艾均可作为"艾"使用的主要原因。方法利用文献学方法对上述7种植物的形态学与化学成分进行比较分析。结果这7种蒿属植物的形态特征无明显差异,主要化学成分与药理作用也相似。结论由于仅凭人的主观感受很难以从形态、气味与治疗效果上对上述七种蒿属艾组植物进行准确分类,故长期以来上述7种植物均被作为"艾"来使用并被收集于《中华本草》之中。

Objective To explore the main reason for the use of these seven plants used as item Folium Artemisiae Argyi in the Chinese Materia Medica,namely Artemisia argyi Levl. et Vant.,Artemisia mongolica,Artemisia princeps Pamp.,Artemisia indica Willd.,Artemisia lavandulaefolia DC.,Artemisia rubripes Nakai,Artemisia vulgaris L. Methods Through philological method and statistics for the above 7 kinds of plant morphology and chemical composition of comparative analysis. Results There is not existed distinct differences in morphological characteristics,chemical constituents and pharmacological effects. Conclusion It＇s difficult to classify them accurately by morphology,smell and therapeutic efficacy from person＇s subjective feeling. Thus these seven plants have been used as Folium Artemisiae Argyi for a long time and collected in the Chinese Materia Medica.
