Progress of Pharmacological Research on JHQGG
Modern pharmacological studies have found that JHQGG has antiviral, immune-regulatory, and anti-inflammatory effects (see  Table 3 ).
Jianping Qi et al. showed that JHQGG significantly decreased the average levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and IFN-γ in serum of influenza patients. Patients exhibited decreased inflammatory response and improved immune function after treatment, which might be due to the antiviral activity of the main ingredients, such as Lonicerae japonicae flos, Scutellariae radix, Forsythiae fructus, and Artemisiae annuae herba (Qi et al., 2016).
