Desmodium adscendens, used by herbalists in Ghana for the treatment of asthma, is anti-anaphylactic in vitro. As the plant material is administered orally, in vivo studies of its anti-anaphylactic property were undertaken using the guinea-pig. The results show that both aqueous and ethanolic extracts of D. adscendens, when taken orally, reduce anaphylactic contractions, interfere with histamine-induced contractions, and reduce the amount of smooth muscle stimulating substances released from lung tissue of guinea pigs.
在加纳，草药医生用攀缘山蚂蝗治疗哮喘，其在体外具有抗过敏作用。由于该植物材料是口服给药，因此使用豚鼠对其抗过敏特性进行了体内研究。结果表明，攀缘山蚂蝗的水提取物和乙醇提取物口服后均可减轻过敏收缩，干扰组胺引起的收缩，并减少豚鼠肺组织释放的平滑肌刺激物质的量。
