Anemarrhena asphodeloides is a plant species in family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae, native to China, Korea, and Mongolia.[1][2] It is the only species in the genus, and some authors have placed it in its own family, Anemarrhenaceae.[3]

Traditional medicine

The plant name in China is zhi mu (知母, zhī mǔ)[4] and its rhizome is used in traditional medicine.[5] It is cited in Japanese Kampo herb list and is an ingredient in the Dabuyin Wan, Qingfei Yihuo Wan and Biyan Pian pills. It is used as an antipyretic, anti-inflammatory,[6] anti-diabetic,[6] and antidepressant[7][medical citation needed] in Traditional Chinese medicine. It may assist learning,[8][non-primary source needed] and may have anti-liver cancer properties.[9][non-primary source needed] Mangiferin, a natural phenol from Anemarrhena asphodeloides or Mangifera indica, could significantly prevent progression of diabetic nephropathy and improve renal function.[10][non-primary source needed]


The plant contains the steroidal sapogenin sarsasapogenin and the xanthonoid mangiferin.[citation needed]
