Abstract:
Triptolide is an active component in traditional Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii. Currently, triptolide has been used to treat various diseases, including lupus, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and nephritic syndrome. Its main pharmacology efficacies include anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, and immunity suppression. Recent studies have also demonstrated triptolide's protective effect on cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis. This paper summarizes the pharmacological efficacy of triptolide based on the advance in studies of triptolide.

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
