Abstract：Taohechengqi decoction is derived from "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" written by Zhang Zhongjing in the Han Dynasty. It is composed of five medicines of peach kernel,rheum officinale,cassia twig,licorice and mirabilite. It has the effect of promoting blood circulation,removing blood stasis,and clearing blood stasis and heat in the lower energizer. It is widely used in the treatment of blood stasis in the lower energizer syndrome. Chemical composition study found that Taohechengqi decoction mainly contains cyanogenic glycosides,anthraquinones,volatile oils,triterpenes and other components;however,the process development of the new dosage form and quality control are limited. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Taohechengqi decoction has various pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory,anti-tumor,anti-thrombosis,and protection of blood vessels and nerves. For clinical application,it is generally used to treat many diseases such as cardio-cerebrovascular,digestive system,urogenital system,endocrine system,and so on,by changing prescription composition and combining with other medicine. In this article,the research progress of Taohechengqi decoction is summarized and sorted from four aspects of chemical composition researches,process researches and quality control,pharmacological effects and clinical application,so as to provide theoretical support for modern development,quality control and clinical application of Taohechengqi decoction.
