To study the correlation of four properties of compositae Chinese medicine and chemical constituent and function.Methods:After looking through relevant literatures, four properties of the compositae Chinese medicine, chemical constituents and their function were summarized, and two factor correlation analysis method was used to analyze the four properties on the correlation of chemical constituent and function.Results:A total of 157 species of compositate Chinese medicine were retrieved, among which there were 43 kinds of neutral temperature, accounting for 27.39%; 40 with cold nature, accounting for 25.48%; 40 with cool nature, accounting for 25.48%; 32 with neutral nature, accounting for 20.38%; 2 with heat nature, accounting for 0.01%. The type of its chemical constituent mainly had volatile oil, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, acids. Compositae Chinese medicine was good at clearing heat and resolving toxin, transforming stasis and relieving pain, dispelling wind and eliminating dampness, functions of dehumidification, cooling the blood and stanching bleeding.Conclusion:Compositae Chinese medicine are mainly with the nature of cold and cool, and their four properties are closely associated with their function. |
