Study on the Relieving Cough and Eliminating Phlegm Effects of Stemoninine Combined with Mogroside Ⅴ on Mice / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To study the relieving cough and eliminating phlegm effects of stemoninine combined with mogrosideⅤ on mice,and select its optimal ratio. METHODS:70 mice were selected in each experiment and randomly divided into 7 groups,namely solvent group(normal saline), codeine(15 mg/kg)or ambroxol(30 mg/kg)group(positive control),stemoni-nine group(30 mg/kg),mogroside Ⅴ group(30 mg/kg),stemoninine-mogroside Ⅴ combination group(30 mg/kg)with mass ra-tio of 21,11,12,ig,once a day. Ammonia-induced cough experiment(positive drug was codeine)and tracheal phenol red ex-cretion experiment(positive drug was ambroxol)were respectively conducted. Using cough latent period,cough times and volume of tracheal phenol red excretion as indexes,the antitussive and expectorant effects of drug in each group were compared. RE-SULTSCompared with solvent group,cough latent period was obviously shortened,cough times was obviously reduced,volume of tracheal phenol red excretion was obviously increased in each administration group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with mogro-side Ⅴ group,cough latent period was obviously shortened,cough times was obviously reduced in stemoninine-mogroside Ⅴgroup with different mass ratios(P<0.05),and 21,11 groups showed the best effects. Compared with stemoninine group,vol-ume of tracheal phenol red excretion was obviously increased in stemoninine-mogroside Ⅴ group with different mass ratios (P<0.05),and 11,12 groups showed the best effects. CONCLUSIONS:The combination of temoninine and mogroside Ⅴ shows synergistic effects on relieving cough and eliminating phlegm,stemoninine-mogrosideⅤmass ratio of 21,11 can be used as pre-ferred combination of reference.
