Ethnopharmacological relevance
Information on Leonurus japonicus was gathered via the Internet (using Elsevier, ACS,
Medline Plus, CNKI, VIP, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Baidu Scholar) and libraries.
Results
Approximately 140 chemical compounds have been isolated from Leonurus japonicus, and
the major components have been determined to be alkaloids, diterpenes and flavones. Among
these active compounds, the effects of leonurine and stachydrine have been widely
investigated. The primary active components in Leonurus japonicus possess wide
pharmacological actions, such as effects on the uterus as well as cardioprotective, anti-
oxidative, neuroprotective and anti-cancer activities.
Conclusions
Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that Leonurus japonicus has marked
bioactivities, especially on the uterus and as a cardioprotective agent. These activities are
related to its traditional use and provide prospects for the development of novel drugs,
therapeutics and health care products for women. However, the toxicity of Leonurus
japonicus will require further study, and the nomenclature for Leonurus japonicus will
require additional clarification.
