Nutritional Value

The root of Glehnia littoralis contains triterpenoid saponins, resin, fatty oil, polygala alcohol and tetraacetate. The above-ground parts contain saponins A, B, C, D and saponins I-XIX. The leaves contain kaempferol-3-O-6"-O-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl) glucoside, astragaloside, kaempferol 3-(6-acetyl) glucoside, and kaempferol 3,7-diglucoside.

1. 5% infusion of the roots and aerial parts of flowering plants has hemolytic effect. The hemolytic effect of the root was comparable to that of Polygala root (whole Polygala).

2. Total saponins from fermented Glehnia littoralis can inhibit xylene-induced ear swelling in mice. It has a significant inhibitory effect on the increased permeability of the peritoneal cavity and capillaries induced by glacial acetic acid. The intensity of the effect is related to the dose, and the greater the dose, the more significant the effect. This shows that the total saponins from Glehnia littoralis fermentation have good anti-inflammatory effects.

3. Studies have shown that Glehnia littoralis contains ketone compounds with isoprenyl and vinblastine side chains. Pharmacological activity studies have found that these compounds have significant anti-tumor activity.

4. Guazijin fermented oral liquid has a certain inhibitory effect on the five test bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas and Bacillus subtilis. Among them, the minimum inhibitory concentration against Staphylococcus aureus is the lowest, and it has obvious antibacterial activity.

5. Anoside pentyl and anoside succinate isolated from the ethanol extract of Glehnia littoralis can shorten the immobility time of forced swimming mice by more than 50%, showing good antidepressant activity. The antidepressant activity of total saponins and anoside succinate succinate has an obvious dose-dependent relationship.
