title: Ciwujianosides D1 and C1: powerful inhibitors of histamine release induced by anti-immunoglobulin E from rat peritoneal mast cells.
abstract: In rat peritoneal mast cells induced by anti-immunoglobulin E, ciwujianosides D1 (1) and C1 (2) from Acanthopanax senticosus (ciwujia) strongly inhibited histamine release in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of 1 was approximately 6800 times stronger than that of disodium cromoglycate.
