Gentiana rigescens, also named Caine gentian, belongs to Gentiana, a member of the Gentianaceae family. It is a geoherb of great importance to China’s Yunnan province. G. rigescens is a perennial, growing amongst hillside grasses, bushes, and trees, at relatively high altitudes. Recent research has shown that it possesses potential functions in liver protection and immune promotion. The main effective component of G. rigescens is gentiopicroside, which is mainly found in the vacuoles of root cells, although it is synthesized in shoots. The content of gentiopicroside in roots was far higher than that in shoots at the flower stage. In addition, there are other active components including swertiamarin, sweroside, erythricine, ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, loganic acid, gentianidine, and gentiana aldin.
