title: [Study on anticonvulsive effect of rhizoma pinelliae].
abstract: Anticonvulsive effect of water-soluble extract of rhizoma Pinelliae was studied. The result showed that the extract of rhizoma Pinelliae could remarkably inhibit the convulsion induced by strychnine and obviously reduce mortality rate in mice. But the extract could be destroyed easily by heat.
