Description: ( ), a well-known traditional animal Chinese medicine, has been commonly used in China for thousands of years. The present paper reviewed advances in traditional uses, origin, chemical constituents, pharmacology and toxicity studies of . The aim of the paper is to provide more comprehensive references for modern study and application. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) culture, drugs containing have been used to treat convulsions, headaches, skin prurigo, scrofula, tonsillitis and fever. Many studies indicate contains various compounds, including protein and peptides, fatty acids, flavonoids, nucleosides, steroids, coumarin, polysaccharide and others. Numerous investigations also have shown that extracts and compounds from exert a wide spectrum of pharmacological effects both in vivo and in vitro, including effects on the nervous system, anticoagulant effects, antitumor effects, antibacterial and antifungal effects, antioxidant effects, hypoglycemic effects, as well as other effects. However, further studies should be undertaken to investigate bioactive compounds (especially proteins and peptides), toxic constituents, using forms and the quality evaluation and control of . Furthermore, it will be interesting to study the mechanism of biological activities and structure-function relationships of bioactive constituents in .
