The tuberculostatic activity of the herb henna (Lawsonia inermis Linn.) was tested in vitro and in vivo. On Lowenstein Jensen medium, the growth of tubercle bacilli from sputum and of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv was inhibited by 6 micrograms/ml of the herb. In vivo studies on guinea pigs and mice showed that the herb at a dose of 5 mg/kg body weight led to significant resolution of experimental tuberculosis following infection with M. tuberculosis H37Rv.
对指甲花(散沫花)的抑菌活性进行了体外和体内测试。在罗氏培养基上,痰液中的结核杆菌和结核分枝杆菌H37Rv的生长受到6微克/毫升该草药的抑制。对豚鼠和小鼠的体内研究表明,以5毫克/千克体重的剂量使用该草药,在感染结核分枝杆菌H37Rv后可使实验性结核病得到显著缓解。
