中文摘要：

氧化苦参碱是中药苦参的主要有效单体,具有多种药理作用。近年来国内外有关氧化苦参碱药理作用分子机制的研究较多,特别对其抗炎、抗纤维化和抗肿瘤的作用高度关注。这些作用主要是通过抗氧化和自由基、抗病毒、影响炎症因子的分泌和细胞凋亡等途径实现的。该文对其对肝脏、心血管、内分泌和神经系统作用的可能分子机制进行了总结。

英文摘要：

Oxymatrine is the main effective monomer of Radix Sophorae flavescentis（ Kushen） , which has a variety of pharma-cological actions and valuable clinical applications. Recently, there are many reports about molecular mechanisms of oxymatrine pharmacological actions, giving highly attention to the anti-in-flammatory, anti-fibrosis and antineoplastic effects. These effects are achieved through resisting of oxidation and free radical, antivirus, and affecting the secretion of inflammatory factor and ap-optosis and so on. This article summarizes the reports on the mo-lecular mechanism of the protection on liver, cardiovascular sys-tem, endocrine system and nervous system, hoping to provide theoretical basis for the practical application.
