1, stand down
The crude preparation of Radix Aristolochiae has the effect of lowering blood pressure, and its effective component is magnolin.
2. Vomiting
Its acidic components can induce vomiting and cause nausea and vomiting. Its refined extract has no obvious effect on intestinal movement.
3. Bacterial inhibition
The total alkaloids of Aristolochia have inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Proteus in different degrees.
4. Improve immunity
Aristolochic acid can improve immune function and enhance phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophages. Studies have confirmed that aristolochic acid has certain mutagenic and carcinogenic effects.
5, the effect on smooth muscle
Aristolochia extract has no effect on the movement of isolated intestine and uterus in rabbits. Intravenous injection has a slight inhibitory effect on intestinal motility in anesthetized dogs and dogs with chronic intestinal fistula, but it does not cause inhibition even after oral administration of 10 times.
6, anti-cancer effect
Mouse sarcoma 37 cells were incubated with aristolochic acid 100-200mcg for 3 hours and were completely inhibited. After transplanting sarcoma 37 cells in mice, 1m aristolochic acid was 2.5-5mg/kg/d for 30 days, and the growth inhibition rate was 40-50%. Subcutaneous injection of aristolochic acid for 5 days significantly prolonged the survival time of mice with sarcoma 37. Aristolochic acid also has inhibitory effect on mouse adenocarcinoma -775, and the acetone extract of its stem has inhibitory effect on mouse Ehrlich ascites carcinoma.
7. Effects on gastrointestinal tract
People who use Radix Aristolochiae to treat abdominal pain will also cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting and dizziness if they use its raw preparation in clinic. The emetic effect of Radix Aristolochiae is mainly caused by its ether-soluble acidic components, and the essential oil can also induce emesis, but the effect is weak. These two ingredients do not lower blood pressure, and this side effect can be eliminated after refining. The refined extract has little effect on isolated rabbit intestinal motility, but has a slight inhibitory effect on in vivo intestinal motility (anesthesia) and chronic intestinal flaccidity (non-anesthesia) during intravenous injection. Even if the oral dose is increased by 10 times,
It will not cause inhibition. 8. Others
The crude preparation of Radix Aristolochiae has sedative effect on mice. The refined extract has little effect on chemoreceptors in isolated rabbit uterus, cat spleen and lower limbs. In large doses, it has certain antimalarial and in vitro inhibitory effects on Shigella dysenteriae.
Second, the difference between Radix Aristolochiae and Radix Aucklandiae
Although there is only one word difference between radix aucklandiae and radix aristolochiae,
But there is a big difference between Aucklandia and Aristolochia. Both Radix Aucklandiae and Radix Aristolochiae are the dried roots of compositae, but Radix Aucklandiae is the dried root of Radix Aucklandiae, and Radix Aucklandiae is the dried root of Radix Aucklandiae or Radix Aucklandiae, belonging to two completely different plants. 1. Aucklandia is cylindrical or semi-cylindrical, with a length of five to ten centimeters and a diameter of 0.5 to five centimeters. Its surface is taupe or brownish yellow, its texture is hard, it is not easy to break, its section is brown to dark brown, and its taste is slightly bitter. Radix Aristolochiae is cylindrical or semi-cylindrical, with longitudinal grooves and slight bends, with a length of 10 to 30 cm and a diameter of 1 3 cm.
2. In addition to different plant sources, the pharmacology of Radix Aucklandiae and Radix Aristolochiae is also very different. Radix Aucklandiae specializes in promoting qi circulation and relieving pain, and is warm in nature, and is most suitable for deficiency cold and qi stagnation, cold coagulation and dampness stagnation.
If you are blocked by heat, you must mix it with cold medicine. Radix Aristolochiae is cold in nature, and besides activating qi and relieving pain, it can also calm the liver and calm the wind, detoxify and reduce swelling, and treat qi stagnation, which is suitable for those caused by heat. 3, Aristolochia can be qi stagnation, bitterness can eliminate qi stagnation, and sexual temperature can be warm. He is always good at activating qi to relieve depression, at flatulence and relieving pain caused by gastrointestinal qi stagnation, and at liver and gallbladder qi stagnation. It is an important drug for promoting qi circulation and relieving pain, and is widely used for qi stagnation. For spleen deficiency and qi stagnation, Radix Aristolochiae, Radix Codonopsis, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae and Fructus Amomi can be combined. , such as the fragrant sand Liu Jun soup in Ten Square Ge Kuo; If overeating and indigestion cause abdominal distension and abdominal pain, Radix Aristolochiae can be used with green tangerine peel, betel nut and rhubarb. , such as Muxiang Areca Pills; For qi deficiency of spleen and stomach, qi stagnation prevents food intake, it can be combined with Amomum villosum and Atractylodes macrocephala, for example, Xiangshajishu Pill from Stealing the Living.
4. Radix Aristolochiae is bitter and cold-dispelling, and can enter the liver and stomach meridians. Besides activating qi and relieving pain, it can also calm the liver, calm the wind, detoxify and reduce swelling. Treating hypochondriac pain, lumbago and abdominal pain caused by stagnation of liver and stomach qi and heat, the single drug is powder or at agent, and can also be combined with other drugs for promoting qi circulation and relieving pain. To treat dizziness and pain caused by hyperactivity of liver yang, it is often made into a single extract, or mixed with Concha Haliotidis, Semen Cassiae and Radix Paeoniae Alba and decocted.
Modern research shows that Aristolochia root contains volatile oil, the main component is aristolocene, and it also contains magnolin. Qingmuxiang decoction has obvious antihypertensive effect on hypertension caused by various reasons, and its mechanism is related to the integrity of sympathetic nervous system. Its effective component, magnolipin, has obvious antihypertensive effect on renal hypertension. Soluble acidic components contained in Aristolochia can induce vomiting.
Through the introduction of Aristolochia, I believe you have a deeper understanding of Aristolochia. Although there is only one word difference, the difference is far-reaching. Don't be confused in the future.
