説明

The effect of ethanol extract obtained from Bulgaria inquinans on the scratching behavior and vascular permeability changes induced by compound 48/80, histamine and serotonin in ICR mice was studied. The extract dose-dependently inhibited scratching behavior induced by compound 48/80 and serotonin. A significant inhibition was observed at doses of 300 and 600 mg/kg when Bulgaria inquinans extract was administered orally. However, no inhibitory effect was observed on the histamine-induced scratching behavior by the extract, even at a dose of 600 mg/kg. In addition, it also inhibited the increase in the vascular permeability induced by compound 48/80 and serotonin at doses of 300 and 600 mg/kg; however, it failed to inhibit the increased vascular permeability induced by histamine, even at a dose of 600 mg/kg. Bulgaria inquinans extract showed a potent inhibitory effect on histamine release induced by compound 48/80. These results suggest that Bulgaria inquinans extract is effective in cutaneous pruritus and erythema, which were probably mediated by inhibiting the release of histamine from mast cells and antagonizing the effect on serotonin.
