Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of the ethanol extract of thunberg fritillary leaf (EETFL) and the ethanol extract of thunberg fritillary flower (EETFF) on relieving cough, sputum elimination and relieving asthma. Methods The cough relieving effects of EETFL and EETFF were studied in mouse cough model caused by ammonia water and in guinea pig cough model caused by citric acid. The sputum elimination effects of EETFL and EETFF were researched by the observation of tracheal phenol red shedding in mice. The asthma relieving effects were tested by spraying method in guinea pigs. Results EETFL can obviously inhibit the incubation period and cough frequency of the model mice and guinea pigs induced by ammonia water and citric acid (P<0.05), and significantly improve the tracheal phenol red excretion volume in mice (P<0.05), and obviously prolong the incubation period of asthma (P<0.05). EETFF can obviously inhibit the incubation period and cough frequency of the model mice and guinea pigs induced by ammonia water and citric acid (P<0.05), and significantly improve the tracheal phenol red excretion volume in mice (P<0.05), but EETFF couldn’t prolong the incubation period of asthma evidently. Conclusion EETFL has obvious activity of relieving cough, eliminating phlegm and relieving asthma. EETFF has obvious activity of relieving cough and eliminating phlegm, but EETFF has no anti-asthmatic activity under the current dose.
