吴茱萸潜在功能的考察与分析

Investigation and Analysis on Potential Function of Euodia rutaecarpa

通过对古代本草、古代方剂、2010版《中国药典》(以下简称"《药典》")中吴茱萸功能的考察,认为历代本草所载基本功能与《药典》相一致。但由古代本草文献所考察的除湿、活血、健脾、消痰逐风和引热下行功能,以及《普济方》数据库中含吴茱萸复方治疗虚损、痹病、中风、疥癣、水肿、痰饮、带下、心腹疼痛、月水不调、产后瘀血、跌打损伤、疮疡、口疮等作用,《药典》未曾收录。综合比较,初步认为活血化瘀、祛风除湿、补虚健脾、解毒、止咳化痰、平肝息风和止血是吴茱萸的潜在功能。

Through the investigation on functions of E. rutaecarpa in ancient herbal literatures, ancient prescriptions and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia（2010 edition）, it showed that the basic function of E. rutaecarpa recorded in herbal literatures through dynasties was similar to that of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. However, the disappearance of Euodia rutaecarpa＇s functions in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia were dampness-eliminating, blood-activating, spleen-invigorating, phlegm-eliminating, wind-dispelling, and guiding fire to its source, which had been recorded in ancient herb literatures. The Pu-Ji-Fang database management system contained prescriptions with Euodia rutaecarpa in the treatment of asthenia, Bi syndrome, stroke, scabies, edema, phlegm, leukorrhagia, epigastric pain, menoxenia, lochiostasis, fractures, sore, aphtha, and etc, which were absent from the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. In conclusion, we preliminarily confirmed that Euodia rutaecarpa had potential functions in activating blood to resolve stasis, dispelling wind and eliminating dampness, nourishing deficiency and invigorating the spleen, resolving toxins, relieving cough and eliminating phlegm, soothing liver to stop wind, as well as stopping bleeding.
