title: [A study on components and compound prescription of huangqin decoction].
abstract: The results obtained from the pharmacological experiments have preliminarily demonstrated that the compound prescription is better than its individual component drug in the range and potency of pharmacological activities. In the prescription Radix Scutellariae plays a principal role in pharmacological effects. Radix Scutellariae and Radix Paeoniae Alba can potentiate each other. Radix Glycyrrhizae and Fructus Jujubae in the compound prescription also exhibit biological activities to some extent. The relieving effect of the prescription for spasm and pain may result from the synergistic interaction between Radix Paeoniae Alba and Radix Glycyrrhiza, and the heat clearing and diarrhea stopping action is due to the biological activity of Radix Scutellariae.
