To evaluate pharmacologically the traditional use of Diospyros lotus as antipyretic and antinociceptive in various animal models.
In vivo experimental models were used in this study. Antipyretic activity of extract/fractions was evaluated in brewer's yeast induced hyperthermic mice while antinociceptive activity was studied in acetic acid induced writhing test at 50 and 100 mg/kg i.p.
The crude extract strongly ameliorated the induced pyrexia during various assessment times. Upon fractionation, the antipyretic effects were strongly augmented by the chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions of the plant. However, hexane and butanol fractions were insignificant in their effect as antipyretic. The extract showed marked inhibition on the noxious simulation induced by post acetic acid injection. The effect was strongly supported by other fraction expect hexane.
In short, our study scientifically validated the traditional use of the plant as antipyretic.
通过药理学方法评估传统上使用的君迁子在各种动物模型中的解热和镇痛作用。
本研究采用体内实验模型。提取物/馏分的解热活性在啤酒酵母诱导的发热小鼠中进行评估,而镇痛活性则在腹腔注射50和100mg/kg的醋酸诱导扭体试验中进行研究。
粗提取物在各个评估时间内均能显著改善诱导的发热。分馏后,植物的氯仿和乙酸乙酯馏分的解热作用显著增强。然而,己烷和丁醇馏分的解热作用不明显。提取物对醋酸注射后引起的有害刺激有明显的抑制作用。除己烷外,其他馏分的作用也有力地支持了这一效果。
简而言之,我们的研究从科学上验证了该植物作为解热剂的传统用途。
