Abstract:
Objective:To study the pharmacodynamics of Shaoteng Decoction obtained by three different extraction methods; To explore the immunosuppressive effect of Shaoteng Decoction; To optimize the extraction process.Methods:The extract of Shaoteng Decoction was prepared by water extraction, 70% ethanol extraction and water extraction and alcohol precipitation respectively. Totally 30 NOD mice were randomly divided into Shaoteng Decoction water extraction group (processⅠ), Shaoteng Decoction 70% ethanol extraction group (processⅡ), Shaoteng Decoction water extraction and alcohol precipitation group (processⅢ), model group and hydroxychloroquine group according to their body weight, with 6 mice in each group. Another 6 Balb/C mice were set as normal control group. In the processⅠ, process Ⅱ, and process Ⅲ groups, 16 g/kg of Shaoteng Decoction extract was given by gavage, while in the hydroxychloroquine group, 60 mg/kg of hydroxychloroquine sulfate was given by gavage. The normal control group and the model group were given the same volume of deionized water once a day for 4 weeks. After the last administration, the spleen index and submandibular gland index were calculated, the pathological morphology of submandibular gland was observed by HE staining, and the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), estradiol (E 2) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) were determined by ELISA. Results:Compared with the model group, the spleen index of each drug group decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the submandibular gland index of the process Ⅲ group and hydroxychloroquine group increased ( P < 0.01). The pathological score of submandibular gland in each administration group decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IgG decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the DHEA level increased ( P<0.01 or P < 0.05). The level of serum E 2 in process group Ⅰ, process group Ⅲ and hydroxychloroquine group increased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion:Shaoteng Decoction can effectively reduce inflammation and inhibit immunity of NOD mice. In addition, the extract under the process of water extraction and alcohol precipitation has better efficacy, which is the optimal technology.
