RESUMO

The potential quality markers( Q-markers) of Eupatorium lindleyanum were studied with analytic hierarchy process(AHP)-entropy weight method(EWM) and network pharmacological method. Based on the concept of Q-markers of traditional Chinese medicine, AHP-EWM was employed to quantitatively identify the Q-markers of E. lindleyanum. AHP method was applied to the weight analysis of the validity, testability, and specificity of the first-level indexes, and EWM method was used to analyze the secondlevel indexes supported by literature and experimental data. At the same time, based on the theory and method of network pharmacology, the component-target-disease-efficacy network of E. lindleyanum was built, and the components most closely related to the efficacy of resolving phlegm and relieving cough and asthma were screened out. Through the integrated analysis of the results obtained with AHP-EWM and network pharmacological method, 13 compounds including rutin, quercetin, nepetin, cirsiliol, luteolin, hyperoside,isoquercitrin, kaempferol, caffeic acid, eupalinolide K, eupalinolide A, eupalinolide B, and eupalinolide C were comprehensively identified as the potential Q-markers of E. lindleyanum. The results provide a basis for the quality control of E. lindleyanum.

RESUMO

Objective: To investigate the antipyretic effect of Eupatorium chinense and its mechanism. Methods: The content of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in ventral septal area (VSA) and blood plasma, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels of hypothalamus and blood plasma were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results: The body temperature (Tb) was decreased at 1 h after administration of E. chinense (3 and 6 g/kg) and Aspirin (0.3 g/kg) respectively, which was significantly different from the temperature of fever model group. The antipyretic effect of Aspirin and E. chinense lasted for longer time. Aspirin (0.3 g/kg) and E. chinense (3 and 6 g/kg) reduced the level of cAMP in hypothalamus of fever rats and increased AVP content in plasma. The changes in cAMP content in plasma of all drug treatment groups were not obvious. Conclusion: E. chinense has strong antipyretic effect and may affect the production of AVP and cAMP in fever rats.

RESUMO

To evaluate the anticonvulsant activity of aqueous extract of Eupatorium birmanicum DC leave (EB) alone and in combination with phenytoin against MES seizure in albino mice. Method: Aqueous extract of EB was prepared using Soxhlet apparatus. The anticonvulsant effect of the extract was tested on prescreened albino mice at 3 doses (200, 400 & 800 mg/kg). After 1 hr of oral administration of EB the animals were subjected to MES seizures by convulsiometer with a current of 45 mA for 0.2 sec via transauricular electrodes and the duration of the THLE was recorded. Sub-anticonvulsant dose of phenytoin was also determined and the effect of its combination with the most effective dose of EB tested. Results: EB aqueous extract exhibited significant anticonvulsant activity in the MES model at doses 400 mg/ kg (p<0.01) & 800 mg/kg (p<0.001). This reduction in the duration of THLE at 800mg/kg of EB was further reduced significantly (p<0.001) when combined with subanticonvulsant doses of phenytoin (10mg/kg). Conclusion: The aqueous extract of E. birmanicum leaves showed significant anticonvulsant activity in MES seizure model in albino mice and it significantly increased the anticonvulsant effect of phenytoin in the same animal model.

RESUMO

En el presente trabajo se evaluó la actividad tóxica de extractos de Eupatorium microphyllum L.F. sobre larvas de IV estadio del mosquito Aedes aegypti (Linneaus), bajo condiciones de laboratorio. Se utilizaron extractos acuosos en concentraciones del 500 mg L-1, 1.500 mg L - 1 y 2.500 mg L-1 y acetónicos en concentraciones de 10 mg L-1, 20 mg L-1, 30 mg L-1, 40 mg L-1 y 50 mg L-1. Los bioensayos se realizaron por triplicado, cada uno con 20 larvas, expuestas durante 24 horas a 150 mL de solución. En todos los ensayos biológicos se emplearon grupos control. En la evaluación de los extractos acetónicos, se empleó un control negativo para evitar que la mortalidad de las larvas ocurriera a causa del solvente. Los extractos acuosos mostraron acción moderadamente baja en la mortalidad de larvas, menor del 20%. Por el contrario, la acción de los extractos acetónicos se observó a 10 y 20 mg L-1, con 15% de mortalidad, mientras que a 30 y 40 mg L-1 se registraron 22 al 38% de mortalidad, en tanto que a 50 mg L-1 la mortalidad fue del 95,4% con resultados estadísticos altamente significativos. Las concentraciones de los extractos acetónicos mostraron ser las más eficientes para el control de los mosquitos seleccionados. Ambos tipos de extractos mostraron efecto tóxico en larvas de A. aegypti ; sin embargo, se observó mayor efecto en los extractos acetónicos en relación con los extractos acuosos de E. microphyllum, lo cual constituye una alternativa viable en la búsqueda de nuevos larvicidas a partir de compuestos naturales.


In the present work the toxic activity of extracts of Eupatorium microphyllum L.F. was evaluated on 4 th instar larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Linneaus), under laboratory conditions. Aqueous extracts were utilized in concentrations of 500 mg L-1, 1,500 mg L-1 and 2,500 mg L-1 and acetone in concentrations of 10 mg L-1, 20 mg L-1, 30 mg L-1, 40 mg L-1 and 50 mg L-1. The bioassays were carried out for triplicate each one with 20 larvae, exposed for 24 hours to 150 mL of solution. In all the bioassays were employed control groups. In the evaluation of the acetone extracts, a negative control was employed to avoid that the mortality of the larvae to occur on account of the solvent. The Aqueous extracts showed low moderate action in the mortality of larvae, less than 20%. On the contrary, the action of the acetone extracts was observed to 10 and 20 mg L-1 with 15% of mortality, while to 30 and 40 mg L-1 were registered 22 to 38% of mortality. However, to 50 mg L-1 the mortality was of 95.4% with highly significant statistical results. The concentrations of the acetone extracts showed to be the most efficient for the control of the mosquitoes selected. Both types of extracts showed toxic effect in larvae of A. aegypti, nevertheless, greater effect in the acetone extracts was observed relating to the aqueous extracts of E. microphyllum, which constitutes a viable alternative in the search of new larvicides from composed natural.
