Description
Zeyun Wang and coauthors review in 2026 the active compounds of Astragali Radix, a classic Chinese medicinal root, and how they act against allergic airway diseases. Asthma, allergic rhinitis, and related conditions are rising worldwide. The root's sugars, saponins, and flavonoids carry most of its studied effects.
Two compounds, a saponin called AS-IV and the polysaccharide fraction, dominate the research record. Reported actions include calming inflammation, rebalancing immune cell types, and slowing airway wall remodeling and scarring. The review treats the allergic airway diseases as one spectrum and ties each compound class to the signaling pathways it touches.
