Exocarpium Citri grandis (ECG, called Huajuhong in Chinese) is traditional Chinese herbal medicine and has been used for the treatment of respiratory diseases for hundreds of years. Contained flavonoids have been documented to be the primary active components. Recently, ECG has been listed in a TCM formula in Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 (Sixth Edition) in China. However, the efficacy and mechanism of ECG in the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases have not been systematically reviewed. Hence, In this review, we summarized the efficacies of ECG and its pharmacologically active compound naringin in antitussive, expectorant, improving lung function, alleviating acute lung injury, attenuating pulmonary fibrosis, and enhancing antiviral immune response, so as to provide a reference for its clinical application.
Keywords:Exocarpium Citri grandis; naringin; COVID-19; application prospect.
