Chemical constituents

The rhizomes of Coptis chinensis contain the isoquinoline alkaloids berberine,[2] palmatine, and coptisine among others.

Traditional uses

Coptis chinensis is one of the 50 fundamental herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is called duǎn è huánglián (Шаблон:Zh). It has been proved to have anti‐cancer, anti‐inflammatory, and anti‐bacterial properties and to help to improve cardiovascular conditions.[3]
