Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

Introduction
Sinomenium acutum stem is mainly produced in China and is also distributed in Japan. It has a long
history as one of the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicines to treat rheumatism and
[1]
arthralgia. Sinomenium acutum stem was first recorded in Bencao tujing (本草图经) and also called
[2]
qingteng or xunfengteng in Bencao gangmu (本草纲目).
The main chemical constituents of Sinomenium acutum stem include alkaloids, volatile oils, sterols
and lipids. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that the sinomenine in Sinomenium acutum
stem has definite benefits for analgesia, anti-inflammation, sedation, lowering blood-pressure, anti-
arrhythmia and immunosuppression. It is mainly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, arrhythmia,
ankylosing spondylitis, pain and other diseases. At present, there are more than 10 kinds of Chinese
proprietary medicine, including zhengqing fengtongning pills, analgesic wine and qingfengteng tablets.
Although the curative effect of Sinomenium acutum stem is definite, side effects include allergic skin
rash, gastrointestinal reactions and granulocyte reduction. This is a reminder to the industry to be
cautious about the safety of Sinomenium acutum stem.
China, Japan, South Korea and Europe have established a standard for Sinomenium acutum stem in their
respective pharmacopoeias. But each pharmacopoeia's requirements are different. The Sinomenium
acutum stem standard has not been unified at the international level, and many countries have different
regulation levels.
As national implementation can differ, national standards bodies are invited to modify the values given
in 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 in their national standards. An example of national values is given in Annex D.
The purpose of this document is to establish an International Standard for the quality and safety
control of Sinomenium acutum stem, ensure the safety and effectiveness of clinical drug use, regulate
the international market and reduce the occurrence of adverse events.
