Abstract EN
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is the most common inflammatory bowel disease worldwide.
Current therapies in UC cause limitations, and herb medicine provides an important choice for UC treatment.
Huangqin-Tang (HQT) is a well-known classical traditional Chinese herbal formula and has been used in China for thousands of years.
A large number of pharmacological studies demonstrated HQT and its ingredients to be effective in treating UC.
Though the therapeutic effect has been evaluated, comprehensive up-to-date reviews in this field are not yet available.
Here we aim to review our current understanding of HQT and its ingredients in treating UC and how the agents modulate the main pathogenesis of the disease, including the intestinal environment, immune imbalance, inflammatory pathways, and oxidative stress.
The summary on this issue may provide better understanding of HQT and its ingredients in treating UC and possibly help in promoting its clinical application.
