The source is the tender stems and leaves of Gramineae wheat. See "Wheat" for plant morphology.
The chemical composition of wheat straw contains a polysaccharide (3.4 g/3.4 kg), which can resist Ehrlich's cancer and sarcoma in mice-180. This polysaccharide is mainly composed of pentose and hexose.
Pharmacology Wheat Straw Water Immersion Agent has snail repellent effect, but its effective components have not yet been proposed, and it is soluble in water and alcohol, but insoluble in organic solvents. For earthworm muscle specimens, low concentration of excitement, high concentration of paralysis. It can inhibit the tension and contraction amplitude of human ascaris slice and rabbit small intestine. It can inhibit frog heart and has no effect on blood pressure and respiration of rabbits. Animals have no toxic symptoms after long-term oral administration or injection. In vitro anthelmintic effect is worse than other drugs. The clinical deworming rate is 69 ~ 78%, the complete deworming rate is 0 ~ 16%, and the egg reduction rate is 60 ~ 66.8%. Insecticidal substances mainly exist in wheat straw knots. Buckwheat stalks are more effective than barley skewers and wheat stalks in killing earthworms. This kind of anthelmintic substance is heat-resistant, but the decoction time is too long, and its efficacy decreases. It has also been reported that hemicellulose in wheat straw has a high anticancer effect (mice). This effect is not cytotoxic, but polysaccharide can be extracted from wheat straw, which has the effect of anti-muscle claudication-180.
