Chemical composition and biological activities of Portulaca oleracea

Abstract

Abstract:

Portulaca oleracea (P. oleracea) is a traditional Chinese herbal that has the effects of soothing the liver and clearing collaterals, strengthening the spleen and stomach, moistening the intestines and detoxifying. With the development of the pharmaceutical industry, the medicinal value of P. oleracea is becoming increasingly prominent. It is commonly used in clinical practice for clearing heat and detoxifying, inhibiting bacteria, preventing and treating diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cerebral infarction, indicating its broad application prospects. This study reviews the chemical components and pharmacological activities of P. oleracea in recent decades.
