ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship of the anti-inflammatory effects of tetramethylprazine with histamine and 5-hydroxytryptaphane(5-HT).Methods The contents of histamine and 5-HT in the inflammatory exudate of rats were determined by fluorescence technique.The effect of tetramethylprazine on histamine and 5-HT were analyzed by in-vitro ileum contraction test in guinea pigs.Results Tetramethylprazine significantly decreased the contents of histamine and 5-HT in the inflammatory exudate,and markedly antagonized the contraction of isolated ileum induced by histamine and 5-HT.Conclusion The anti-inflammatory mechanisms of tetramethylprazine may be related to the inhibition of the synthesis or release of histamine and 5-HT,as well as its direct antagonism.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the interference of Huangyangning Injection in bacterial endotoxin test and to establish bacterial endotoxin test method for this specimen.Methods According to China Pharmacopoeia 2000,inhibition or en-hancement test for bacterial endoto xins test was carried out for Huangyangning Injection.Results l ∶150solution of Huangyangning Injection had no inte rference on the test.Conclusion Reliable data and result are obtained and bacterial endotoxin test method for Huangyangning Injection has been established.
