2010年版《中国药典》中“紫花前胡”功效描述的商榷

Discussion on efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine "Zi-hua Qianhu" in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2010 Edition)

通过本草文献及现代研究,梳理了紫花前胡及前胡的历史应用情况,明确2种前胡的区分,并确立紫花前胡的药用归属。依据历代本草及相关医书,并结合现代研究进行分析。伞形科植物紫花前胡Angelica decursivum在历史上长期用作当归的替代品,近代出现充作中药前胡使用的情况,尤其受日本文献观点的影响,促使了紫花前胡成为前胡正品来源,但是缺乏足够的历史依据。中药前胡的历代来源主要为前胡属植物,以白花前胡Peucedanum praeruptorum为正品。2种前胡从物质基础及临床应用亦有着明显的区分。2010年版《中国药典》紫花前胡与前胡相同的功效描述可能无法阻止紫花前胡充作前胡应用的情况。必须进一步结合现代研究,确立紫花前胡的功效和药用归属。

To clarify the origin and application development of the traditional Chinese medicine ＂ Zi-hua Qianhu＂ and ＂ Qianhu＂, the medicinal literatures of past dynasties and modern researches were analysed. The plant Angelica decursivum was used as a substitute for traditional Chinese medicine ＂ Angelica sinensis Radix＂ for a long historical period, it is used incorrectly for traditional Chinese medicine ＂Qianhu＂ due to origin research in modern times. The plant origin of ＂ Qianhu＂ is Peucedanum praeruptorum. There are significant differences in clinical applications and chemical composition of the two drugs. The same efficacy description of ＂Zi-huaQianhu＂ and ＂Qianhu＂ could not stop ＂Zi-huaQianhu＂ used as ＂Qianhu＂ in practical application. Therefore, we need to further research for the plant A. decursivum, delimit its medicinal attribution.
