Adenophora adenophora has the functions of nourishing yin, promoting fluid production, clearing away heat and cooling blood, and is especially suitable for patients with advanced cancer with blood deficiency and yin deficiency, lung cancer with yin deficiency, digestive tract tumor with deficiency of both qi and yin after operation, or patients with body fluid dryness caused by radiotherapy.
Pharmacological effects of adenophora adenophora;
1 Effect on immune function: intraperitoneal injection of Adenophora adenophora (0.5g/ mouse) can significantly increase the number of lymphocytes and T cells in peripheral blood of mice; The number of lymphocytes and T cells in thymus also increased, which could significantly increase the phagocytosis percentage of peritoneal macrophages in mice. It can obviously increase the weight of mouse spleen, but reduce the number of lymphocytes and T cells in mouse spleen. It shows that Adenophora adenophora can improve cellular immunity and nonspecific immunity, and inhibit humoral immunity. Has the function of regulating immune balance. Adenophora adenophora can also improve lymphocyte transformation rate.
2, expectorant effect: the dose of 1g/kg given to rabbits shows that it has a certain expectorant effect, which can last for more than 4 hours, but the intensity is not as good as that of Hanako.
3. Antifungal effect: The water extract of Adenophora adenophora (1: 2) has inhibitory effect on dermatophytes in vitro, such as Trichophyton odoratum and Trichophyton woolens.
4. Cardiotonic effect: 1% Radix Adenophorae extract has obvious cardiotonic effect on isolated toad heart, and the amplitude of isolated heart increases, and the effect can last for 5 minutes.
The efficacy difference of Nansha participating in Radix Glehniae.
According to ancient documents, the Adenophora adenophora used by predecessors was Nanshahan. To the Qing Dynasty, Adenophora adenophora was divided into south and north. It is generally recognized that the two drugs have similar effects, both of which are yin-nourishing drugs, which have the effects of nourishing yin, clearing away lung heat, benefiting stomach and promoting fluid production. However, Adenophora adenophora, also known as Adenophora macrophylla and Adenophora adenophora, has a large volume, loose texture and poor curative effect. Specializing in "lung", it tends to clear lung, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough. Glehnia littoralis, also known as Glehnia littoralis and Glehnia littoralis, is slender in shape, solid and dense in texture and good in efficacy. Specializing in treating stomach, but favoring nourishing yin, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, there are different opinions.
Modern research shows that Glehnia littoralis contains alkaloids and volatile oil, which has the functions of lowering body temperature, relieving pain and strengthening heart. Glehnia littoralis contains flavonoids and saponins. It has expectorant, anti-calculus, and heart strengthening effects.
Radix Adenophorae can nourish yin, clear heat, moisten lung and eliminate phlegm, and treat chronic cough due to yin deficiency, excessive phlegm and blood dryness, and less expectoration; Deficiency-heat laryngitis (moistening lung and relieving cough). Radix Glehniae has stomach yin deficiency, body fluid deficiency, dry throat and thirst (nourishing stomach and promoting fluid production).
