Lamiophlomis rotata (Benth.) Kudo is a plant of the family Labiatae and genus Striga. The active ingredients of Duyiwei are complex and have a variety of pharmacological effects. In this article, we refer to the recent literature and related studies to elaborate the active ingredients and pharmacological effects of Duyiwei, with a view to providing a theoretical basis for the clinical application of Duyiwei. Although some results have been achieved in the study of the pharmacological effects of Duyiwei, the study of its chemical composition and pharmacological mechanism is still not complete, and in-depth research can be carried out from cellular, tissue, molecular biology, metabolism and other multidisciplinary aspects, with a view to providing theoretical basis for the clarification of Duyiwei's active ingredients and the development of the mechanism of Duyiwei's active ingredients and its clinical applications.
