Call for Standardizing Uncaria rhynchophylla as the Sole Origin of Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis
Phytochemical Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis (URCU) is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treating neurodegenerative disorders. The Chinese Pharmacopeia recognizes five Uncaria species as authorized botanical sources of URCU; however, there is currently no established quality control method for individual species.
