Abstract
Materials and Methods This review is a collection of all possible studies on AR, published in scientific journals, papers, and books. Using the papers related to Arisaematis, such as ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, Springer Link, Web of Science, CNKI, and WanFang Database. In this paper, the traditional uses, botany, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of AR were reviewed. Finally, the existing problems and research directions of the research on AR are discussed. Results Ninety-eight chemical constituents were isolated from AR. AR has a wide range of pharmacological effects, such as the effects on the central nervous system and cardiovascular system. It also has anti-tumor, sedative, analgesic, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, expectorant, antiarrhythmic, anticoagulant, and other effects. It is also considered an effective drug for in vitro and in vivo validation. Conclusions AR is an excellent traditional medicinal plant in China. Pharmacological studies support the traditional use of AR and may verify the folk use of AR in the treatment of different diseases. The anti-tumor effect of AR has been widely concerned by scholars at home and abroad. It has become a hot spot in recent years and has made great contributions to the survival and development of human beings. Although it has a high value of comprehensive utilization, its development and utilization are far from enough. Therefore, the comprehensive development of AR is worthy of further analysis.
Highlights
Arisaematis rhizoma is a tuber of the Arisaema plant of the Araceae family [1]. ere are about 115 genera and more than 2,000 species in the Araceae family that are widely distributed all over the world, with more than 92% of them produced in the tropics
E tuber of Pinellia pedatisecta Schott was used as AR until the Song Dynasty (Kaibao Materia Medica) [4]
In the current market circulation, Pinellia palmata was widely used as a substitute for AR. e rhizomes of Arisaema erubescens (Wall.) Schott, Arisaema amurense Maxim, and Arisaema heterophyllum Blume are all used as AR [5]

Arisaematis rhizoma (hereafter referred to as AR) is a tuber of the Arisaema plant of the Araceae family [1]. Ere are about 115 genera and more than 2,000 species in the Araceae family that are widely distributed all over the world, with more than 92% of them produced in the tropics. AR was listed as one of the 28 toxic traditional Chinese medicine in clinical. If it is intended for oral administration, the processed AR (Arisaematis rhizome preparatum and Arisaema cum Bile) were preparation must be performed by an experienced individual. The traditional uses, botany, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of Arisaema were reviewed. The existing problems and research directions of the research on Arisaematis are discussed
