鱼腥草，又称“中药抗生素”，是药食同源植物。在民间医学中具有清热、解毒的作用。近年来，鱼腥草多糖（HCPs）的提取纯化和生物活性引起了研究人员的广泛兴趣。研究证实，HCP 具有多种生物功能，如抗炎、抗病毒、抗菌、抗氧化、免疫调节、调节肠道微生物群和肠肺轴，以及抗辐射和抗癌特性。因此，需要进行全面的系统综述来总结 HCP 的最新进展，并促进更好地了解其生物功能。本文综述了HCPs在提取纯化方法、化学结构、生物活性、可能的作用机制以及潜在应用前景等方面的研究进展，为其在该领域的进一步开发和应用提供了一些有价值的见解和更新信息。治疗剂、功能性食品、化妆品、动物饲料。版权所有 © 2024。由 Elsevier B.V. 出版。

Houttuynia cordata Thunb, also known as "Chinese medicine antibiotic", is a medicine food homology plant. It has functions of clearing heat, eliminating toxins, in folk medicine. The extraction purification and bioactivity of Houttuynia cordata polysaccharides (HCPs) have been of wide interest to researchers in recent years studies. Studies have confirmed that HCPs exhibit various biofunctionalities, such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, regulation of gut microbiota, and gut-lung axis, as well as anti-radiation, and anti-cancer properties. Therefore, a comprehensive systematic review is needed to summarize the recent advances of HCPs and facilitate a better understanding of their biofunctionalities. This paper reviews the research progress of HCPs in extraction and purification methods, chemical structures, biological activities, possible mechanisms of action, and potential application prospects, which can provide some valuable insights and updated information for their further development and application of HCPs in the fields of therapeutic agents, functional foods, cosmetics, animal feeds.Copyright © 2024.
