Relationship between modern pharmacology and traditional efficacies of XYP.

Active compoundsModern pharmacology of traditional efficacies
Dispersing stagnated liver Qi for relieving Qi stagnationNourishing the blood and invigorating the spleen

SaikosaponinIncreasing IL-2 and IgM level [15], reducing LPO [16]Keeping a balance of TH/TS [15]
Ferulic acidDecreasing LPO and MAD, balancing TXA2/PGI2, reducing blood viscosity [17]Increasing SOD activity, enhancing hematopoietic function, keeping the balance of TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α [17]
LigustilideDecreasing MAD, balancing TXA2/PGI2, reducing blood viscosity [18, 19]Increasing activity of SOD and GSH-PX [18, 19]
TGPDecreasing MAD, reducing blood viscosity, balancing TXA2/PGI2, increasing IL-2 [19, 20]Keeping a balance of TH/TS, increasing activity of SOD and GSH-PX, enhancing hematopoietic function, improving the quality of erythrocytes [19, 20]
Atractylenolide I         —Strengthening digestion and absorption, enhancing salivary amylase activity, slowing the heart rate [21]
Atractylenolide III         —Strengthening digestion and absorption [21]
PachymanScavenging free radical, reducing LPO and MAD, lowering blood sugar [22]Increasing SOD activity [22]
Pachymic         —         —
GlycyrrhizinReducing MAD, increasing IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, scavenging free radical [23]Increasing SOD activity, increasing the plasma TP [23]
