Abstract

Background: Atractylodes lancea Thunb. (Asteraceae) is a commonly used medicinal plant for gastric and appetite-associated complications in traditional Chinese medicine. The rhizome of Atractylodes lancea has been widely used for the treatment of human complications. Atractylodin has anti-angiogenic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-pyretic and anti-hypertensive potential in medicine. Nano-formulations of atractylodin were also prepared in the scientific field to enhance its water solubility and efficacy in cholangiocarcinoma.

Methods: Health-beneficial aspects of atractylodin in medicine have been investigated in the present work through collected scientific information on atractylodin from different literature databases. Scientific data on atractylodin has been collected from Google, Science Direct, Scopus, and PubMed. Further, detailed pharmacological activities and analytical aspects of atractylodin were discussed in this paper in order to know its biological potential in medicine. Analytical techniques of atractylodin were also discussed in the present work for separation, isolation, and identification of atractylodin.

Results: Scientific data analysis signified the biological importance of Atractylodes lancea Thunb. and its active phytochemical atractylodin in medicine. Scientific data signified the presence of atractylodin in Atractylodes lancea, Atractylodes chinensis, Atractylodes japonica, Atractylodes macrocephala, Atractylodes ovate and Atractylodis Rhizoma. Atractylodin has a significant biological effect on cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, cancer anorexiacachexia syndrome, colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, respiratory complications, GIT complications, hepatic complications, atopic dermatitis, aging process, neurodegenerative disease, calcified aortic valve disease, hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, body temperature, olfactory neurons, podocyte hypermotility and toxicity. Further, its anti-nociceptive, anti-fibrotic, anti-angiogenic, anti-virulence, antibacterial, insecticidal, lipase inhibitory potential, immunomodulatory, and positive inotropic effects were also discussed in the present paper. Analytical techniques for the separation, isolation and identification of atractylodin in different samples were also discussed in the present work.

Conclusion: The present work's scientific data signified the biological importance of atractylodin in medicine.
