Studies On The Chemical Constituents Of The Drug Couple Composed Of Lonicera Japonica And Fructus Forsythiae

The drag couple, which is the most foundational and simplest form in the prescription compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine, specially imply the prescription composed by two relative fixed Chinese medicine in clinic. It posseses the basic indication function of the complex prescription. The drag couple is the marrow of compatibility, and also the core of the prescription composed with drag. The study of drag couple is the foundation and the cut-point in the investigation of the prescription compatibility. Because it not just has the characteristics of complex prescription, but also the feature of simple to spread out modern research. So we can investigate the regularity of compatibility begin with the drag couple. Lonicera japonica and Fructus Forsythiae are frequently used in the compatibility of Traditional Chinese medicine. The earliest appearance of them is in the Lonicerae and Forsythiae Powder from 《Wenbingtiaobian》 written by Wu Jutong in Qing-dynasty. The drag couple composed by the Lonicera japonica and Fructus Forsythiae were used in lots of modern preparation. Because of the significance in studying the regularity of compatibility and the catholicity of the application with Lonicera japonica and Fructus Forsythiae, we choose the drag couple composed of Lonicera japonica and Fructus Forsythiae as the object to investigate, to establish foundation of the study on the modem preparation.
