    Author: Dong Z, Lu X, Tong X, Dong Y, Tang L, Liu M.
    Journal: Molecules; 2017 Sep 04; 22(9):. PubMed ID: 28869577.
    Abstract:
    Forsythiae Fructus, as a traditional Chinese medicine, has been widely used both as a single herb and in compound prescriptions in Asia, mainly due to its heat-clearing and detoxifying effects. Modern pharmacology has proved Forsythiae Fructus possesses various therapeutic effects, both in vitro and in vivo, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral activities. Up to now, three hundred and twenty-one compounds have been identified and sensitive analytical methods have been established for its quality control. Recently, the pharmacokinetics of Forsythiae Fructus and its bioactive compounds have been reported, providing valuable information for its clinical application. Therefore, this systematic review focused on the newest scientific reports on Forsythiae Fructus and extensively summarizes its phytochemistry, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and standardization procedures, especially the difference between the two applied types-unripe Forsythiae Fructus and ripe Forsythiae Fructus-in the hope of providing a helpful reference and guide for its clinical applications and further studies.
