Qiancao (Rubiae Radix et Rhizoma) contains active ingredients such as quinones, cyclopeptides, terpenes and polysaccharides, which have the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding and dredging meridians. It is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine clinical practice. However, there are problems with adulteration, excessive nonmedicinal parts and substandard content in Qiancao (Rubiae Radix et Rhizoma) currently, and the existing quality control indicators make it difficult to evaluate the quality of medicinal materials comprehensively. Based on research progress on quality control of Qiancao (Rubiae Radix et Rhizoma), its quality markers were predicted and analyzed from 7 aspects such as plant genetic relationship, traditional efficacy, different origins, compatibility of different compounds, new pharmacodynamic pathway and measurable chemical compounds. The results suggested that alizarin, purpurin, 6-hdroxyrubiadin, xnthopurpurin, rbiadin, mollugin, rbioncolin C, xyloidone, lpachol, isolariciresinol, RA-Ⅴ, RA-Ⅶ and β-sitosterol can be used as quality markers of Qiancao (Rubiae Radix et Rhizoma), providing a reference for its quality standard improvement and other research in the future.
