There are many researches on chrysanthemum at home and abroad in terms of classification, identification, chemistry, pharmacology and clinical aspects, and now the researches on pharmacology of chrysanthemum at home and abroad are introduced.
1 Effects on coronary artery
Zhejiang Medical University researched that chrysanthemum preparation has the effect of significantly increasing the flow of coronary artery of isolated rabbit heart and in vivo dog's heart, and it can make the ischemic electrocardiogram ST-segment depression caused by stimulation of cerebral center to be improved, and improve the tolerance of mice to decompression and hypoxia. Yang Xueyuan et al. found that the phenolic part of Chrysanthemum can increase the coronary flow of guinea pig's isolated heart and has no obvious toxic effect on the heart, liver and kidney functions of rabbits. Chrysanthemum on experimental myocardial infarction, experimental coronary artery atherosclerosis or insufficient blood supply of experimental animals, can increase blood flow and nutritional blood flow, and enhance the role of myocardial contraction and increase oxygen consumption.
2 Effect on cholesterol metabolism
Chrysanthemum decoction can inhibit the activity of hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) in liver microsomes of rats, activate cholesterol 7-2-hydroxylase, and thus accelerate the effect of cholesterol metabolism. Hu Chun and other research on chrysanthemum extract on the elevation of serum cholesterol in rats has a significant improvement in the normal basic feed group of rats, chrysanthemum extract can maintain the total serum cholesterol basically unchanged, but improve the protective effect of the HDL concentration, reduce the harmful effects of the LDL concentration in the case of high-fat dietary suppression of blood cholesterol and triglyceride elevation of the role of. This is undoubtedly beneficial to the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia.
3 Antimicrobial effect
Hangzhou chrysanthemum in vitro against Escherichia coli, Sonnenbergia dysenteriae, Proteus mirabilis, Typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio cholerae and other 7 kinds of gram-negative intestinal pathogens completely inhibit the effect. It also has antibacterial effect on Streptococcus aureus and β-hemolytic streptococcus. It has several inhibitory effects on human tubercle bacilli. Chrysanthemum water infusion (1:4) in a test tube on the cordyceps, concentric trichothecenes, Xylococcus xylostroboides, Audu ounce of small shoots of lichen planus, rust-colored small shoots of lichen planus, woolly small shoots of lichen planus, inguinal epidermal lichen planus, red epidermal lichen planus, asteroidal good Kahlrabi bacteria, and other skin fungi have a varying degree of inhibitory effect.
4 Antiviral effect
Shandong province institute of traditional Chinese medicine pharmacology room of chrysanthemum eight mainstream commodities carried out anti-influenza A virus test, the results show that all kinds of chrysanthemum have a certain antiviral effect, to Boju, Huaiju effect is the best. Foreign research found that chrysanthemum has different degrees of inhibitory effect on herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), poliovirus and measles virus, and compared with the blank group, the rate of empty spot formation was reduced by 50%. In addition, chrysanthemum also has anti-AIDS effect, it can inhibit ZV transcriptase and HLV replication activity, from which the isolation of acacia-7-0-B-D-0 galactopyranoside is a new active ingredient of anti-HZV, and the toxicity is quite low.
5 Anti-inflammatory effect
Shandong Province Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine on chrysanthemum eight mainstream commercial extracts of anti-inflammatory effect of comparison in mice, found that the chrysanthemum, Chu chrysanthemum, Hangzhou chrysanthemum, Gong chrysanthemum, Chuan chrysanthemum has a significant anti-inflammatory effect, while the chrysanthemum, Bozhou chrysanthemum, Qiju chrysanthemum, yellow chrysanthemum has a weak anti-inflammatory effect or is not obvious. Chrysanthemum extract can affect the permeability of mouse capillaries and increase the resistance of capillaries, thus having anti-inflammatory effect.
6 Antipyretic effect
Chrysanthemum extract by gavage has antipyretic effect on rabbits with artificial fever.
7 Anti-mutagenic effect
Chrysanthemum has a significant inhibitory effect on the rate of PCE micronuclei in mouse bone marrow induced by cyclophosphamide, and the plate doping test has also confirmed that chrysanthemum has a significant inhibitory effect on the revertant mutation of TA98 or TA100 strains induced by 2-aminofluorene.
8 Anti-aging effects
Chrysanthemum can significantly extend the life span of silkworms, and can enhance the reduction of glutathione peroxidation. Chrysanthemum extract can improve the hypoxia resistance of mice and prolong the survival time. Chrysanthemum has the ability to scavenge O(2) radicals. Hu Chun et al. studied the protective effect of chrysanthemum extract on the superoxide anion free radical damage of biological membranes, and found that chrysanthemum extract can enter the cell membrane after the glycerol ester and play a protective role, this discovery suggests that chrysanthemum has the potential to play a role in the emerging functional foods, especially in the anti-aging foods.
9 Anti-tumor effects
Isolated from the chrysanthemum dandelion Sai gun-type 3-hydroxy triterpenoids on the 12-0-tetradecanoyltaxane diterpene alcohol-13-ester (TPA) induced by the mouse skin tumors have more significant inhibitory effect.

Legend:
Chrysanthemum, there is a very interesting legend in Japan. In ancient times, a large ship sailed out of China carrying 12 noble boys and girls who sailed overseas in search of the elixir of immortality. In exchange, they carried the most valuable item, the golden chrysanthemum. Later, the ship was caught in a storm and washed away to an uninhabited deserted island, where they were forced to live, reproduce and plant the golden chrysanthemums on the island. Since then, the people there have called themselves "Imperial Japan". The design on the Japanese flag, which is mistaken for the sun, is actually a golden chrysanthemum. The symbol of the Japanese emperor is also a 16-petaled chrysanthemum.
Wu Jun of the Liang Dynasty wrote in his book "Qi Harmony Records" that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the plague in the area of the Ru River in the south of the Ru River was a plague, and epidemics were prevalent, and the sound of moaning and pain was all over the area. A person named Huan Jing, through the hardships and dangers into the mountains, worship Fei Changfang as a teacher, learn to eliminate disasters and save people's magic. One day, Fei Changfang told Huanjing: "The plague demon is going to harm people again on the 9th day of the 9th month, so you should go back to save your parents and relatives."

In the evening, people returned to their homes, "chickens, dogs, cows and sheep, a sudden violent death", but the people were free from the disaster. From then on, the custom of ascending the mountain to avoid disasters has been passed down from generation to generation.
Chrysanthemum science
Japan's Institute of Agricultural Biological Resources recently used ion beam irradiation technology to cultivate six new varieties of chrysanthemums, each chrysanthemum flower can be five or six colors at the same time, and petal patterns are also different shades of bright and colorful and full of changes, breathtaking. The researchers used ion beam irradiation to cultivate six new varieties were named Ion Bright, Ion Cheng Hong, Ion Dawn, Ion Hatsune, Ion Glory and Ion Magic. The researchers believe that this method can be used in the future to cultivate a variety of new varieties of flowers. The researchers used ion beam irradiation to mutate the cultured cells of petals and leaves, and the mutated cells then continued to grow. In the past, mutation breeding, mainly with the gamma ray irradiation, flower color single, a chrysanthemum often only two colors, and mutant cells and not mutant cells mixed together, only to let the mutant part of the expansion of fixed to spend a lot of time, with ion beam irradiation of a chrysanthemum flowers can appear in a variety of colors and patterns, spend time is relatively much less.
