JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 335:118615. [PMID: 39069030 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Amomum villosum Lour. is a widely esteemed species of medicinal plant on a global scale. Its medicinal properties have been documented as early as the Tang Dynasty, particularly the fruit, which holds significant medicinal and culinary value. This plant is extensively found in tropical and subtropical regions across Asia. It possesses the properties of warming the middle and dispelling cold, regulating Qi to invigorate the spleen, harmonizing the stomach to alleviate vomiting, and nourishing deficiencies. In recent years, A. villosum has garnered global attention for its remarkable biological activity. Currently, numerous bioactive compounds have been successfully isolated and identified, showcasing a diverse array of pharmacological activities and medicinal benefits. AIM OF THE WORK This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the research advancements in the geographical distribution, botany, traditional applications, phytochemistry, pharmacological activity, quality control, clinical applications, and toxicology of A. villosum. Furthermore, a critical summary of the current research and future prospects of this plant is presented. MATERIALS AND METHODS Obtain information about A. villosum from ancient literature, doctoral and master's theses, and scholarly databases including Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), ScienceDirect, plant directories, and clinical reports. RESULTS At present, about 500 compounds have been isolated and identified from various organs of A. villosum, including monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, diterpenoids, flavonoids, phenols, polysaccharides, and other components. Modern pharmacological studies have revealed that A. villosum exhibits exceptional biological activities in vitro and in vivo, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, liver protection, anti-tumor, hypoglycemic, anti-microbial, regulating gastrointestinal activity, immune regulation, regulating flora, anti-obesity, estrogen, and more. Some of these activities have found extensive application in clinical practice. CONCLUSION A. villosum, as a well-established medicinal herb, holds significant therapeutic potential and is also valued for its culinary applications. Currently, the research on the active components or crude extracts of A. villosum and their potential mechanisms of action remains limited. Furthermore, certain pharmacological activities require further elucidation for a comprehensive understanding of its internal mechanisms. Moreover, it is strongly recommended to prioritize research on pharmacokinetics and toxicity studies. These efforts will facilitate a thorough exploration of the potential of A. villosum and establish a robust foundation for its potential clinical applications.

Yue Y, Li H, Xu M, Ma L, Wang X, Miao Y, Zhang L, Li X, Liu R. Integrating chemical similarity and bioequivalence: an overall evaluation of the quality consistency of traditional decoction and dispensing granule decoction of Amomum villosum. Drug Dev Ind Pharm 2024; 50:150-162. [PMID: 38194223 DOI: 10.1080/03639045.2024.2303381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the quality consistency between traditional decoction (TD) of Amomum villosum and its dispensing granule decoction (DGD). Fifteen batches of TD and nine batches of dispensing granules (manufactured by A, B, and C) were prepared and evaluated for their consistency. METHODS Firstly, The chemical similarity of TD and DGD was examined using GC and HPLC, coupled with hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), criteria importance though intercrieria correlation(CRITIC) weighting method, and principal component analysis (PCA). Secondly, the gastrointestinal motility experiments in mice, along with the CRITIC weighting method, were employed to assess the bioequivalence of TD and DGD of Amomum villosum. Finally, the entropy weight technique-gray relative analysis(GRA) method was used to compare the quality of Amomum villosum decoctions. RESULTS ①The CRITIC weighting method indicated significantly higher scores for TD than DGD (p < 0.01). HCA and PCA results demonstrated a clear distinction between TD and DGD. ②Gastrointestinal motility test results revealed no significant difference between TD and DGD in other indicators (p > 0.05).③Gray relative analysis results showed that the relative correlation of TD was more significant than that of DGD. CONCLUSION The chemical composition of DGD and TD differed. The biological activity of DGD-A/B was consistent with that of TD, while the difference between DGD-C and TD was significant. A comprehensive evaluation showed that TD exhibited better quality than DGD. DGD manufacturers should optimize the preparation process to enhance product quality.
