Trichosanthis Fructus (Gualou) is the dried ripe fruit of Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim. or Trichosanthes rosthornii Harms (Cucurbitaceae family). It demonstrates significant therapeutic effects in treating coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus, while also possessing anti-cancer and anti-aging properties. Both Trichosanthis Pericarpium (Gualoupi) and Trichosanthis Semen (Gualouzi) are used medicinally. With the increasing clinical application of Trichosanthes medicinal materials and their preparations (such as Gualou Injection and Gualou Tablets), the demand for them is expected to grow substantially. To further investigate Trichosanthis Fructus, explore its medicinal effects and new applications, and promote the development of Trichosanthis Fructus-based products, this paper reviewed the chemical components of Trichosanthis Fructus. Furthermore, the differences in major chemical components among Trichosanthis Fructus, Trichosanthis Pericarpium and Trichosanthis Semen were compared, providing a scientific basis for establishing quality evaluation standards of Trichosanthes medicinal materials. |
