Rhubarb, as a commonly used Chinese medicine, has a long history in Chinese medicine. It is the dried root and rhizome of Polygonaceae perennial herbs, such as Rhubarb palmatum, Rhubarb tanguticum or Rhubarb medicinal. It was found that the main chemical constituents were anthraquinones. In addition, tannins and a small amount of rhubarb glycosides and aglycones were also found.
Modern pharmacological studies have proved that anthraquinones in rhubarb have the functions of purging, protecting liver and gallbladder, anti-bacterial and promoting pancreatic secretion, inhibiting pancreatic enzyme activity and protecting pancreatic islets. They can be used to treat cholelithiasis, acute tonsillitis and acute pancreatitis in clinic.
