Maxing Shigan Decoction(麻杏石甘汤)is a classic prescription created by ZHANG Zhongjing, a famous medical practitioner in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It has multiple pharmacological effects such as antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antispasmodic, asthmatic properties and immune-regulating properties, thus it can be used to treat respiratory related disorders such as influenza, pneumonia, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). This paper discussed the chemical composition, pharmacological effects, and research progress on the treatment of respiratory diseases by Mahuang Xingren Shigan Decoction. And based on the five principles of Quality Marker(Q-Marker), it is revealed that ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, methylephedrine, amygdalin, wild black cherry glycoside, glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhizic acid, quercetin, kaempferol, (+)-catechin and sitosterol could be used as the Q-Marker of Maxing Shigan Decoction. However, the experiments are needed to verify its authenticity and provide a scientific basis for future quality assessment and product development of Maxing Shigan Decoction.
