The methanol extract of Drymaria cordata Willd. was investigated for its effect on a cough model induced by sulfur dioxide gas in mice. It exhibited significant antitussive activity when compared with the control in a dose-dependent manner. The antitussive activity of the extract was comparable to that of codeine phosphate, a prototype antitussive agent. The D. cordata extract (100, 200, 400 mg/kg) showed 11.6%, 31.6% and 51.5% inhibition of cough with respect to the control group.
对荷莲豆草(Drymaria cordata Willd.)的甲醇提取物进行了研究,考察其对二氧化硫气体诱发的小鼠咳嗽模型的影响。与对照组相比,它以剂量依赖的方式表现出显著的镇咳活性。该提取物的镇咳活性与磷酸可待因(一种原型镇咳剂)相当。荷莲豆草提取物(100、200、400mg/kg)相对于对照组对咳嗽的抑制率分别为11.6%、31.6%和51.5%。
