title: Effects of phyllodulcin, hydrangenol, and their 8-O-glucosides, and thunberginols A and F from Hydrangea macrophylla SERINGE var. thunbergii MAKINO on passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction in rats.
abstract: We examined the antiallergic effects of phyllodulcin, hydrangenol, and their 8-O-glucosides, and thunberginols A and F isolated from the processed leaves (Hydrangeae Dulcis Folium) and dried leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla SERINGE var. thunbergii MAKINO using the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction. With the exception of phyllodulcin, these constituents were found to significantly inhibit the PCA reaction. Although thunberginol A showed the most potent inhibitory effect, hydrangenol was considered to be the principal antiallergic component in the processed leaves, after taking into account their contents.
