Pharmacological action [ ]
1anti tumor effect of Cordyceps cicadae polysaccharide ( galactomannan ) has antitumor action.
2 central nervous system effects of intraperitoneal injection of mouse natural Cordyceps cicadae or cultured products dilute alcohol extract could significantly reduce the autonomic activity, prolong pentobarbital and chloral hydrate induced sleep time, improve the subliminal hypnotic dose of pentobarbital sodium in mice sleep rate; extension of central stimulants and strychnine and pentylenetetrazole the speech mouse convulsion latent time. After chemical stimulation method and hot plate method proved: two significant analgesic effect. For normal and yeast induced hot rats by intraperitoneal injection, has obvious cooling effect. Another information further proof, Cordyceps Cicadae and its artificial culture, has the obvious analgesia, sedation and antipyretic effect.
Toxicity of 3acute toxicity test indicated that the ethanol extract: natural of mice60g / kg,72h were observed,20 mice were1dead, after administration of animal only activity decreased,24h recovered. Intraperitoneal injection of LD5012.5 +2.1g / kg, toxicity is writhing, reduced activity, dyspnea until death. Subacute toxicity test indicated that, three groups of rats were1g / kg,3G / kg,9g / kg intragastric administration, continuous 28d, the results of animal blood, liver, kidney function and electrocardiogram were no abnormal changes of heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and other important organs pathology examination had no obvious abnormality.
