Research progress in safe use of Psoralea corylifolia based on evolution of toxicity/efficacy

doi:10.19803/j.1672-8629.20220409

Abstract

Abstract: Psoralea corylifolia L. is a traditional non-toxic Chinese herbal medicine, which is used for the treatment of osteoporosis, fractures, osteoarthritis and other diseases. However, liver injury caused by Chinese herb preparations, including Psoralea corylifolia, is frequently reported over the years, which affects the clinical and safe use of psoralen. This study is expected to provide data for evaluation and prevention of safety risks of Psoralea corylifolia.

Key words: Psoralea corylifolia L., pharmacology, effect, toxicity, security, clinical application

CLC Number:
