Platycodon grandiflorum
Korean and East Asian root used in TCM as Jie Geng for lung conditions and cough, and eaten as a traditional Korean vegetable (doraji).
Korean Bellflower Root (Platycodon grandiflorum), known as Jie Geng in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a mucolytic and expectorant primarily used for respiratory conditions such as cough, sore throat, and upper respiratory infections. Its key active compounds include the triterpenoid saponins platycodin D and polygalacin D, along with betulinic acid and spinasterol, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. It is also consumed as a vegetable in Korean cuisine, notably as doraji.
Platycodin D, the primary saponin, stimulates respiratory tract secretions and enhances mucociliary clearance, acting as an expectorant. It also inhibits NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) and exerting anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, platycodin D modulates immune function by activating macrophages and promoting Th1/Th2 balance. Betulinic acid contributes to anti-inflammatory activity via COX-2 inhibition, while inulin supports prebiotic effects.
