The traditional Chinese medicine comfrey is a variety of plants in the genus Anlebiaeuhroma (Royle) Johnst., also known as Xinjiang comfrey), Lithospermumerythrorhizon Sieb. Et Zucc., and Arnebiaguttata Bunge. dry roots. It is mainly distributed in various provinces of our country, and also distributed in some other countries or regions. Comfrey was first recorded in “Shen Nong’s Materia Medica”, which has the effects of clearing away heat and cooling blood, promoting blood circulation, and detoxifying rashes. It is used for blood-heat and toxin-filled, impermeable measles, sores, eczema, water and fire burns, etc. There are two main components of comfrey: one is water-soluble components, which are less studied at present, and it is preliminarily believed to be a mixture of polysaccharides and glycoproteins; the other is a variety of highly fat-soluble substances with biological activity. Including shikonadhiquinones, phenolic acids, alkaloids, phenols and benzoquinones, triterpene acids and sterols, flavonoids, etc. Among them, the shikonaquinone compounds, including shikonin and a series of derivatives, are the important medicinal ingredients in comfrey.
Deoxyshikonin is one of the main active ingredients in comfrey, which belongs to naphthoquinone compounds. Naphthoquinones are the main active ingredients of comfrey, and their content accounts for 3-6.5%. They have a variety of physiological and pharmacological activities, such as healing and anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral, antipyretic, hemostatic, anti-tumor, liver protection, and hypoglycemic , sedation and immune regulation.
