[chemical composition] the seed contains more fatty oil, about 42-58%.

[pharmacological action] a crude oil from the seeds of Ampelopsis yunnanensis has sedative and sedative effects on rats. After further purification by countercurrent fractionation, Mal - Ⅲ was obtained, which still had a stabilizing effect, but 200 mg / kg made the cat salivate, diarrhea and tremble; after further purification, Mal - Ⅲ a still had a stabilizing effect on the cat, without side effects; for example, after heating in boiling water bath for 4 hours, the stabilizing effect disappeared. When mal - Ⅲ a was suspended after Tween 80 and injected into the abdominal cavity of dogs, cats, monkeys, mice and rats, it had obvious sedative effect, enhanced the effect of cyclohexane barbital and had cooling effect on mice. The low dose (70 mg / kg) of this preparation can antagonize the lethal effect of pentamethenyltetrazole on rats, but the high dose can enhance its toxicity. The results showed that mal - Ⅲ a could reduce the spontaneous activity of animals, depress blood pressure in anesthetized cats, moderate diuretic effect in rats, and antagonize spasmogenic effect on isolated intestine. The oil from the seeds of Ampelopsis yunnanensis also has antispasmodic properties (to the uterus of rats, etc.), and causes vasoconstriction, but has no antibacterial activity; the bitter resin from the seeds has the effect of reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heart rate of frogs in a small amount, and stopping the heart in diastole in a large amount.
