''Tripterygium'' is a genus of plants in the Celastraceae family.''T. wilfordii;'' (Chin. 雷公藤) pinyin: ''lei gong teng'', sometimes called "Thunder God Vine," is used in Traditional Chinese medicine. "''Tripterygium wilfordii'' Hook.f., known as Leigongteng (Thunder God Vine) in traditional Chinese medicine, has attracted much attention for its applications in relieving autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, and for treating cancer. Molecular analyses of the ITS and 5S rDNA sequences indicate that ''T. hypoglaucum'' and ''T. doianum'' are not distinct from ''T. wilfordii'', while ''T. regelii'' should be recognized as a separate species. The results also demonstrate potential value of rDNA sequence data in forensic detection of adulterants derived from ''Celastrus angulatus'' in commercial samples of Leigongteng."〔Law et al (2010), p. 21.〕 ==Selected species== * ''Tripterygium bullorkii'' * ''Tripterygium forrestii'' * ''Tripterygium regelii'' * ''Tripterygium wilfordii'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tripterygium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
