Abstract:
AIM: To study the pharmacological effect of Weichangshu (WCS) (Rhizoma coptidis, Fructus Evodiae., etc.) on rodent gastrointestinal function and gastric mucosa, and to analyze its analgesic and antidiarrheal mechanism. METHOD: Mouse's hypermobility induced by neostigmine and its gastric emptying were treated by WCS in comparison with normal subjects, rat's gastric ulcer induced by absolute ethanol, diarrhea induced by castor oil, pain induced by acetic acid and rat's gastric secretion and absorption were observed. RESULTS: The experimental results showed that WCS did not affect normal mouse's intestinal propulsion but significantly antagonized neostigmine induced intestinal propulsion and inhibited the gastric mucosa injure and decreased the frequency of the writhe and limited diarrhea. CONCLUSION: WCS has power to recover gastrointestinal function and lessen gastric mucosa injury and has analgesic and antidiarrheal effect.
