Pharmacology Research Progress of Paeonol

Abstract:

Paeonol is one of main medicinal ingredients of Cortex Moutan. Paeonol has the functions of sedative, hypnosis, anti-bacterial, antibiosis, anti-inflammation, antioxidation, reducing blood pressure and so on. Paeonol has extensive biological activities and has broad prospects of exploitation and utilization. This paper reviews the latest progress of its pharmacology.
