Main Medical Effect of the Extracts from Herba taraxaci and Total Flavones in Chamaejasmine

Su Sheng-hua, JIN Ya-ping, QIN Xin-xi, SONG Yu-min. Xi Bei Nong Ye Xue Bao. 2008; 17(4): 181-185.

In order to study the bacteriostasis and anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects of the extracts from Herba taraxaci and total flavones in chamaejasmine. The bacteriostasis and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of three extracts on S. aureas, E. coli, S. dysagalactie were detected by plate process and test tube method. The antipyretic and anti-inflammatory action were observed by pyretic rabbits induced by intravenous injection of milk and mice with ear swelling induced by xylene. The results showed that the fraction of Herba taraxaci eluted with 40% of ethanol (40%HT) and total flavones in chamaejasmine (TFC) had midrange inhibitory effect on those bacteria, and the combination of 40% HT and TFC had significant efficacy. TFC and 40% HT at dose of 500, 250 mg/kg and 90% HT at 500 mg/kg had significant inhibitory effect on ear swelling in mice(P<0.01>. Two extracts from Herba taraxaci both had significant antipyretic action(P<0.01 orP<0.05>, but TFC didn’t have the function.*

Comparative study on the Efficacy and Toxicity between Clematis armandii Franch and C. Montana Buch., -Hum Aqueous Extract

Zhang Baijia, Cao Yu, Liu Liu, Pan Jia. Si Chuan Zhong Yi. 2008; 26(2): 38-39.

Objective: To compare the anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects of Clematis armandii Franch (I) and C. Montana Buch. -Hum (II), the acute toxicity also be studied. Methods: Anti-inflammatory effect was observed on carrageenan and egg-whlte induced ankle joint swelling mouse model respectively, diuretic effect was observed on mouse model by testing the urine volume and the contents of K +, Na + in the urine. The acute toxicity was tested by general method. Results: I and II had significant anti-inflammatory effects. The urine volume and the contents of K +, Na + in the urine were obviously increased by II, and only the urine volume and the contents of K + were increased by I . The maximum tolerated dose of I or II was 300g crude drug/kg via i.g. Conclusion: II has better anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects than I, and I and II have no significant acute toxicity on mice.*
