title: [A preliminary study on the pharmacology of the compound prescription huangqin tang and its component drugs].
abstract: Results obtained from the pharmacological experiments demonstrated that the compound prescription Huangqin Tang and its component drugs, roots of Paeonia lactiflora, Scutellaria baicalensis and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and the fruit of Ziziphus jujuba showed marked anti-inflammatory effect. The compound prescription and its component drugs, except the peony root, possessed significant antispastic effect. Antipyretic effect of Radix Scutellariae, Radix Glycyrrhizae and Huangqin Tang was suggested. Huangqin Tang, Radix Paeoniae alba, and Radix Glycyrrhizae showed marked analgesic effect. In addition, the experiments confirmed that both Huangqin Tang and single Radix Scutellariae have sedative effect.
