Paeonia mostly contain paeoniflorin, root content of 1.8 ~ 7.3%, all in the root bark component; leaf content of 1 ~ 1.1%. See the white peony.
Pharmacological action [ ]
The antispasmodic action
On Peony lifting abdominal spasm of research, because the dosage form, composition and animal species are different, the experimental results is not consistent. At present, think good spasmolytic effect of paeoniflorin. Early reports extract on isolated intestine of rabbits showed inhibition, but high concentration after the first excitement inhibition. In future experiments, on the isolated rabbit or in the intestine are usually excited function, high concentrations are suppressed or antispasmodic action. Paeoniflorin on guinea pig, rat ileum in vitro and in gastric motility, as well as the rat uterine smooth muscle were shown to inhibit, and can inhibit oxytocin-induced contractions; licorice methanol extract FM100 and paeoniflorin show synergistic effect.
The effect on the circulatory system
Paeoniflorin can be induced in guinea pig blood pressure drops, the pressure level and dose related, on isolated guinea pig heart had little effect, but can make the dog coronary blood flow increased, its effectiveness for papaverine 1 / 20, 1 / 250, nitroglycerin, and can increase the canine hindlimb blood flow, its effectiveness for papaverine 1 / in 100, the 1 / 4500 of nitroglycerin, paeoniflorin decomposition to benzoyl paeoniflorin and benzoic acid, its pharmacological effects disappear, the glycosides to poison Mao Xuan Hanako glycoside G induced guinea pig cardiac arrhythmia, no obvious antagonism. Grass Peony Decoction on isolated frog heart, in rabbit hearts were inhibited, the toad splanchnic vascular and isolated rabbit ear perfusion can mildly dilated blood vessels.
The analgesic, sedative, anticonvulsant effect
Determination of mouse tail by compression threshold method, paeoniflorin and FM100 ( two were intraperitoneally) analgesic effect is not significant, such as combined application of synergistic effect, oral delivery is either alone or combined with applications are no analgesic effect; with acetic acid injection in abdominal cavity of mice, with writhing movements as indicators of pain, paeoniflorin and FM100 respectively (intraperitoneal ) or combined application have significant analgesic effect. Paeoniflorin sedation, and FMl00 and can prolong the won has barbital sodium on mice 's sleep time, on electric convulsion without antagonism, but on five methyl tetrazolium induced convulsions have weak antagonism. Peony extract can inhibit the strychnine-induced convulsion.
The anti inflammatory, anti ulcer effect
Paeoniflorin have weak anti-inflammatory effects, diagonal righteousness vegetable glue and dextran induced rat paw edema after inhibition, and FM100 manifestations of synergy, but on mice suffered from abdominal inhibition is very weak. On the rat stress ulcer prevention, pylorus ligation in rats, paeoniflorin and FMl00 in the inhibition of gastric secretion has synergistic effect. But peony root extract can make the acidity of gastric juice secretion in mild rise, improve appetite.
The antibacterial, antipyretic effect
White peony root decoction in vitro against Shigella dysenteriae has strong bacteriostasis, moreover can inhibit Staphylococcus tincture can inhibit Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Peony Decoction of 1: 40 in vitro on Beijing Branch of the 68-1 virus and herpes virus inhibition, white peony root extract on some pathogenic fungi are also shown to inhibit. Paeoniflorin on mice with normal body temperature has a cooling effect on the mice, artificial fever antipyretic effect.
The other effect
Rabbit oral grass peony decoction, blood glucose can temporarily increase, to 0.5 ~ 1 hours for peak, immediately dropped, to 5 to 6 hours after the return to normal. Paeoniflorin on guinea pig tracheal incision, mechanical stimulation of tracheal mucosa induced cough were not antitussive effect; on mouse urine volume had no effect on the release, and FM100 has significant antidiuretic effect. Peony extract low concentrations of excitatory isolated mouse uterus, high concentrations inhibit, and can fight against acetylcholine, histamine induced contractions. From the pharmacological effects of paeoniflorin, and traditional Chinese medicine clinical treatment effect basically is consistent, so that the paeoniflorin is the main active ingredient of peony.[ ] processing of Radix Paeoniae Rubra: pick the size of impurity, separated, washed with water bubble about seven, probably through, remove, airing, run to the outside humidity uniformity, sliced, dried.
