[Antitussive, expectorant and anti-inflammatory effects of rhizoma Cynanchi stauntonii].
Experiments indicated that the ethanol extract and ether extract from Rhizoma Cynanchi Stauntonii showed obvious antitussive and expectorant effects in mice with stomach administration. The antitussive effect of ethanol extract was stronger than the expectorant effect. The water extract showed a certain expectorant effect but no marked antitussive effect with oral administration. Obvious anti-inflammatory effect was observed on croton oil-caused mouse ear swell with intraperitoneal injection.
