ABSTRACT
Punica granatum Linn. (Punicaceae) commonly known as Pomegranate is a dark greenish large deciduous shrub or small tree, about 5-10 m height. Flower buds are traditionally used in the treatment of asthma and allergy. The aim of this study was to validate the traditional antiallergic property using milk-induced leucocytosis and milk-induced eosinophilia in rats. Flower buds of the plant were extracted successively using various solvents to obtain the respective extracts. These extracts were administered to mice at the dose of 50 and 100 mg/kg, orally. Only the ethanol extract showed significant reduction in leukocyte and eosinophil count, these results are a validation of the use of the extract of polar compounds of P. granatum flower buds as an antiallergic agent.
RESUMEN
Punica granatum Linn. (Punicaceae) comúnmente conocida como granada es un pequeño árbol o arbusto grande de hoja caduca, de unos 50-10 m de altura y de color verde oscuro. Los botones florales se utilizan tradicionalmente en el tratamiento del asma y la alergia. El objetivo de este estudio fue validar la propiedad tradicional antialérgica utilizando ratas con leucocitosis y eosinofilia inducida por leche. Los botones florales de la planta se extrajeron sucesivamente con varios solventes para obtener los extractos respectivos. Estos extractos se administraron a los ratones a dosis de 50 y 100 mg / kg, por vía oral. Sólo el extracto obtenido con etanol mostró una reducción significativa en el recuento de leucocitos y eosinófilos, estos resultados son una validación del uso del extracto de compuestos polares de los botones florales de P. granatum como un agente antialérgico.
