Abstract:
The effect of tremulacin(TRC)extracted from Mao BaiYang(Folia Populustomentosa Carr)on actions of SRS-Aand histamine were investigated by using isolated guinea pigileumand spectrofluorometric assay.TRC was found to inhibit the contraction of isolated guinea pig ileuminduced by histamine and SRS-A,in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 of 1.78x10
-4 mol·L
-1and 2.51 X 1 0
-4mol·L
-1,reslpectively.TRC at the dose of 10
-4mol·L
-1 inhibited SRS-Arelease from sensitized isolated guine pig lung.While at the dose of l0
-5mol·L
-1 inhibited histaminerelease from the peritoneal mast cells in sensitized rats.These results indicate that in hibition of therelease of histamine and SRS-Amay play an important role in the mechanism of antiinflammatory actions of TRC.
