中药作用于血脑屏障的研究进展

Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Blood-brain Barrier

血脑屏障是机体内的一种重要的屏障系统,它可以有选择地阻止某些物质进入大脑,从而保持中枢神经系统内环境的相对稳定,但这也成为药物治疗中枢神经系统疾病的重要制约因素。中药对多种中枢神经系统疾病均具有良好的疗效,这说明其有效成分可以透过血脑屏障或影响血脑屏障的功能。本文归纳和总结了目前中药作用于血脑屏障的药理和临床试验研究方面的文献资料并对此进行综述。

Blood-brain barrier （BBB） is a kind of important barrier system in the body. It can have a choice to prevent certain substances from entering the brain, in order to maintain the relative stability of internal environment of the central nervous system （CNS）. However, it also became an important restriction factor for the treatment of CNS diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） had good curative effects on several kinds of CNS diseases, which illustrated that effective composition of TCM can pass through or influence the function of BBB. This paper summarized the research progress of literatures on current pharmacological and clinical trials for the effect of TCM on BBB.
