Description
Paeonol is the main active ingredient of the cortex of thePaeonol raw materials with high purity can be derived from plant extracts by chemical synthesis. The commonly used extraction methods of paeonol include boiling method, alcohol extraction, steam distillation, and CO2 supercritical fluid extraction . But due to the limitation of plant resources and the lower content of paeonol in the natural plants, there are many separation and purification difficulties existed in the extraction methods. The chemical synthesis process is relatively easy, and the final product usually can be obtained through two- to three-step reaction and separation process . Ranunculaceae plants including Paeonia suffruticosa Andr. (Moutan cortex, Mudanpi) and Rhododendron plant Cynanchum paniculatum (Bge.) Kitag. (Cynanchi paniculati radix et rhizome, Xuchangqing). Moutan cortex and Xuchangqing are commonly used as traditional Chinese medicine. Moutan cortex has the effects on clearing heat, cooling blood, activating blood, resolving stasis, and retreating heat; Xuchangqing also has many effects, such as dispelling wind, relieving pain and itching, and so on.

Indications
This drug has been recorded in Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China
(1977).
At present, the dosage forms of paeonol for clinical use include tablet, ointment,
injection, and plaster. Paeonol is clinically used for the treatment of fever, headache,
neuralgia, muscle pain, abdominal pain, rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis; its ointment can also be used for a variety of eczema, dermatitis, skin itching,
mosquito bite redness, and other skin diseases, also has a certain effect for allergic
rhinitis, and is used for prevention of cold.

Clinical Use
In clinical practice, paeonol is mainly used as a major active ingredient of multiflavor traditional Chinese medicine. For example, paeonol is the main active ingredient and quality control index of more than ten kinds of commonly used Chinese
medicine preparations, such as Feng Shi Ding tablets, Liu Wei Di Huang pills,
Zheng Gu Shui water, Gui Shao Di Huang Tang pills, Mai Wei Di Huang pills, Qi
Ju Di Huang tablets, Ming Mu Di Huang pills, Zhi Bai Di Huang pills, Gu Ci pills,
Gu Ci Xiao Tong tablets, Fu Fang Yi Gan pills, Yang Yin Qing Fei Tang pills, JiSheng Shen Qi Wan pills, and Danggui Yangxue pills. In addition, paeonol can also
be administered as a monomeric drug. The listed preparations are mainly paeonol
injection, paeonol tablets, and paeonol ointment, clinically for the treatment of
rheumatism, stomachache, and other pains, eczema, allergic dermatitis, etc. Paeonol
and its preparations have the characteristics of less side effect, no addictive, nonrebound, and high security.
