卵叶远志的研究进展

Research progress of Polygala sibirica L.

远志为远志科多年生草本植物远志Polygala tenuifolia Willd.或卵叶远志Polygala sibirica L.的根,具有安神益智、祛痰消肿的功效,临床常用于治疗心肾不交、失眠多梦、惊悸健忘等证。有关药用远志的研究主要集中在细叶远志方面,近年来对卵叶远志的研究也逐渐加深。本文在广泛文献检索的基础上,对卵叶远志的分布、性状鉴别、生药学、化学成分、含量测定、药理作用等方面的研究进展作了综述,为临床合理用药提供参考。

Radix Polygalae is the root peels of a Polygala tenuifolia family perennial herbi Polygala tenuifolia Willd. or ovum leaf Polygala sibirica L., which can calm nerves and benefit intelligence, eliminate the phlegm for diminishing swelling.
