Abstract: Prunella vulgaris is a clinically used Chinese medicine with extensive pharmacological effects,and it is abundant in China. P. vulgaris contains medicinal ingredients such as triterpenoids,steroids,flavonoids,coumarins,organic acids and polysaccharides. Polysaccharide is one of the main medicinal ingredients,and has pharmacological effects such as anti-oxidation,anti-tumor,anti-virus and immune regulation,thus it has important clinical application,development and utilization value,and has attractive application prospect in food,medicine,health care products and other industries. In this paper,the domestic research progresses on extraction,purification and pharmacological effect of polysaccharides from P. vulgarism are sorted,and its research direction is prospected,which provide references for the further research and clinical application of P. vulgarism polysaccharides.

Key words: Prunella vulgaris, polysaccharides, extraction, pharmacological effect
