ABSTRACT
AIM: To study the analgesia and anti-inflammation effects o f aspirin-niacinamide-zinc complex (WUY). METHODS: In this study , the mice ear swelling, vascular permeability increasing and rats’ paw edema w ere adopted to evaluate the anti-inflammable effects of WUY. And the analgesic effects of WUY were tested by writhing reaction and hot-plate method. R ESULTS: In high and low dose groups of WUY, the degrees of ear swelling were 3.3 and 2.8 mg, the Evans blue induced effusion were 3.1 and 1.2 mg?L -1, and the paw edema volume (1-4 h) were 0.21- 0.13 and 0.23- 0.08 ml, respectively. WUY ( 0.3 and 0.45 mmol?kg -1) prolonged incubation period of hot-plate reaction and showed marked i nhibition effects on writhing induced by acetic acid in mice. CONCLUSION : The analgesic and anti-inflammable effects of WUY are stronger than t hat of ASP.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To study the effects of aspirin-niacinamide-zinc complex (WUY) on platelet aggregation and experimental thrombosis. METHODS: With adenosine diphosphatethe (ADP), arachidonic acid (AA) and collagen, the effects of aspirin-niacinamide-zinc complex (WUY) on platelet aggregation in vitro or in vivo were investigated by Born's method. The mouse mortality caused by intravenous injection of AA and experimental thrombus formation in rats were observed. Radioimmunoassay was used for measuring thromboxane B_2 (TXB_2) and 6-keto-PGF_(1?) in plasma of rabbits. RESULTS: In high, middle and low dose groups, drugs, in vitro, inhibited ADP-, AA-and collagen-induced platelet aggregation and the effect of WUY was stronger than that of ASP in high dose groups. In vivo, WUY showed more potent inhibitory effects on AA-induced aggregation in 1 h and 3 h. WUY had a powerful inhibitory effect on mouse death as a result of pulmonary thrombi induced by AA injection into the tail vein and ED_(50) was lower than that of ASP. In addition, WUY exhibited strong inhibitory effect on thrombus formation in rat arteri-venous shunt and significantly reduced plasma level of TXB_2 while it markedly increasing 6-keto-PGF_(1?) in high dose groups and ASP significantly reduced plasma level of both TXB_2 and 6-keto-PGF_(1?). CONCLUSION: The effect of WUY on platelet aggregation and experimental thrombosis is stronger than that of ASP and can increase plasma level of 6-keto-PGF_(1?).
