摘要
Picroliv, a standardised iridoid glycoside fraction from the root and rhizome of Picrorhiza kurroa at a dose of 25 mg kg(-1) p.o. inhibited passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in mice (82%) and rats (50-85%) and protected mast cells from degranulation (60-80%) in a concentration-dependant manner. Its effect was also studied in sensitised guinea pig ileum preparation in vitro (Schultz-Dale study) and in normal guinea pigs in vivo (Konzett-Rossler, in preparation). There was inhibition of the Schultz-Dale response in sensitised guinea pig ileum, but the bronchospasm induced by histamine could not be antagonised or prevented by Picroliv, indicating the absence of a direct post-synaptic histamine receptor blocking activity.
