[Pharmacological properties of Adonis sibir and A. vernalis growing in Bashkiria].

Animal tests have evidenced that Adonis sibir, whose glucoside composition is close to that of Adonis vernalis, exerts cardiotonic, diuretic and sedative action. The activity of Adonis sibir, growing in Bashkiria, meets requirements of the State Pharmacopea X for Adonis vernalis. By comparison with the latter Adonis Sibir. displays more pronounced sedative properties, is less cumulative, is absorbed at a slower rate on its enteral introduction and produces a greater slowing down of the cardiac rhythm.
