Abstract:
Aim To evaluate the pharmacological effects of sodi um ferulate on asthmatic guinea pigs. Methods Guinea pigs were sensit ized by ovalbumin. Two weeks later,ment of Sodium ferulate were injected every d ay five minutes before inhale, the guinea pigs were killed 7 days later. Granul ocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-5(IL-5), Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in serum were measured by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and fluoroimmunoassay method, the e osinophils (EOSs) were counted and the phosphodiesterase (PDE) in the bronchoalv eolar lavage fluid(BALF) were determined by inverse high-performance liquid chr omatography (HPLC) method. Result After treatment with sodium f erulate for one week at the dose of 25,50,100 mg?kg -1 respectively, th e GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-5 contents were inhibited as compared with the untreated g roup in a dose dependent manner.The count of eosinophil was decreased.The activi ty of PDE of cell in BALF and the level of ECP were decreased.Conclusion Sodium ferulate attenuates the GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-5 in serum and eosi nophils and the activity of PDE and ECP and has protective effect in asthmatic g uinea pig.
