This study evaluated the antidiarrheal, analgesic, and anthelmintic activities of honey samples from the Sundarbans mangrove forest of Bangladesh. Composite raw honey (RH), and its diethyl ether (DEH), ethanol (ETH), methanol (MEH), and distilled water (DWH) fractions were investigated. RH and its fractions strongly inhibited castor oil-induced diarrheal episodes in mice at a concentration of 250 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) (<0.05). At this concentration, RH, DEH, ETH, MEH, and DWH showed inhibitory activity on diarrheal episodes at 43.8, 47.4, 29.8, 12.3, and 38.5%, respectively, whereas for the inhibitory activity for the positive control (PC, 3 mg loperamide/kg b.w.) was 47.4%. Similarly, DEH (250 mg/kg b.w.) showed strongest inhibition (63.5%) of acetic acid-induced writhing in mice, followed by RH (55.7%), ETH (46.2%), MEH (37.6%), and DWH (32.9%). In a hot plate test, mice treated with DEH at a concentration 250 mg/kg b.w. showed the greatest increase in response time, followed by treatment with RH. RH was further used in an anthelmintic test, where it showed a strong dose-dependent reduction in both the paralysis time and the time until death of the parasite, . Honeys in the Sundarbans could therefore be of great use as nutraceuticals.
本研究评估了来自孟加拉国孙德尔本斯红树林的蜂蜜样本的止泻、镇痛和驱虫活性。对复合生蜂蜜(RH)及其乙醚(DEH)、乙醇(ETH)、甲醇(MEH)和蒸馏水(DWH)馏分进行了研究。RH及其馏分在浓度为250毫克/千克体重(b.w.)时能强烈抑制蓖麻油诱导的小鼠腹泻发作(<0.05)。在此浓度下,RH、DEH、ETH、MEH和DWH对腹泻发作的抑制活性分别为43.8%、47.4%、29.8%、12.3%和38.5%,而阳性对照(PC,3毫克洛哌丁胺/千克b.w.)的抑制活性为47.4%。同样,DEH(250毫克/千克b.w.)对小鼠乙酸诱导的扭体反应显示出最强的抑制作用(63.5%),其次是RH(55.7%)、ETH(46.2%)、MEH(37.6%)和DWH(32.9%)。在热板试验中,以250毫克/千克b.w.浓度的DEH处理的小鼠反应时间增加最多,其次是RH处理的小鼠。RH进一步用于驱虫试验,结果显示其对寄生虫的麻痹时间和死亡时间均有强烈的剂量依赖性降低。因此,孙德尔本斯的蜂蜜作为营养保健品可能有很大用途。
