Abstract

Astragali radix (AR, namded Huangqi in Chinese) is the dried root of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. var. mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao or Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. As a widely used ethnomedicine, the biological activities of AR include immunomodulatory, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-oxidant, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-tumor, cardioprotective, and anti-diabetic effects, with minimum side effects. Currently, it is known that polysaccharides, saponins, and flavonoids are the indispensable components of AR. In this review, we will elaborate the research advancements of AR on ethnobotany, ethnopharmacological practices, phytochemicals, pharmacological activities, clinical uses, quality control, production developments, and toxicology. The information is expected to assist clinicians and scientists in developing useful therapeutic medicines with minimal systemic side effects.

黄芪：一种历史悠久的滋补中药。

黄芪（Astragali radix，中文名黄芪）是黄芪科植物黄芪（Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge.）或黄芪（Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge.）的干燥根。作为一种广泛使用的民族医药，AR 的生物活性包括免疫调节、抗高血糖、抗氧化、抗衰老、抗炎、抗病毒、抗肿瘤、保护心脏和抗糖尿病等作用，且副作用最小。目前已知，多糖、皂苷和黄酮类化合物是 AR 不可或缺的成分。在这篇综述中，我们将阐述 AR 在民族植物学、民族药理学实践、植物化学成分、药理活性、临床用途、质量控制、生产发展和毒理学方面的研究进展。希望这些信息能帮助临床医生和科学家开发出对全身副作用最小的有效治疗药物。
