Iron chopsticks 2

(Shaanxi Chinese herbal medicine)

[synonym] black hair seven, small mountain peach seven (Shaanxi Chinese herbal medicine).

[source] it is the root of Ranunculaceae.

Iron chopsticks

Herbs perennial, 30-50 cm high, glabrous. Rhizome about 6 mm in diameter, with many dark brown fibrous roots. 1-2 basal leaves with long stalks, 5-7 lobes, oblong or broadly lanceolate, upper margin dentate; stem leaves smaller, sessile or sheathed, 3-lobed. Flowers solitary, sometimes 2 terminal; sepals 5, pink, elliptic or narrowly elliptic; nectariferous leaves 8-10, cylindric funnel-shaped; stamens numerous; carpels 2-3. Follicles flat, dehiscent, with many seeds.

Under the forest on the hillside. It is distributed in Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi and other places.

[collection] collect in autumn, wash, dry or fresh.

[chemical constituents] the roots of the same plant heierbo contain the cardiac glycosides choerogenin and choerogenin. In the early years, it was found that there were two kinds of toxin in the plant.

[pharmacological action] heierbo has the following effects

① Cardiotonic effect

In the isolated frog heart, calcium ion can enhance its toxicity, while potassium ion can weaken it. The cardiotonic effect of the new drug was 20 times that of the new drug. The minimum lethal dose of geranioside to cats was 0.088 mg / kg (suzumabin was 0.085 mg / kg), and the partial hydrolysate of geranioside was 0.084 mg / kg. 98 mg / kg. In the preparation of guinea pig's heart and lung, the cardiotonic effect of geranoside is higher than that of its aglycone, but the therapeutic index is lower. This glycoside has high accumulation and poor gastrointestinal absorption. Its action is faster than that of helianthin g, and its toxicity is close to digitalis. The effect of desaccharide is faster than that of its mother, but its toxicity and accumulation are lower; it can restore the disorder of blood circulation and electrocardiogram to normal in dogs with experimental myocardial insufficiency, and its effect is better than that of helianthin K and Canadian ephedrine.

② Antitumor effect

Heierbo can make the transplanted tumor necrosis in mice, but it is highly toxic to animals. Sneedzin and aglycone have inhibitory effect on human epithelial cancer KB cells in vitro, and the former has stronger effect.

③ Anesthetic effect

There was no stimulation to the mucous membrane and no cardiotonic effect. The anesthetic effect on the tongue was similar to that of Aconitum carmichaeli.

④ Other functions

When the blood pressure drops due to bleeding, the pressor effect is more obvious. For iris epithelial cells and fibroblasts cultured in vitro, low concentration accelerates their growth, high concentration inhibits them and makes them degenerate. The results showed that choeroside could antagonize convulsion or electric shock induced by pentamethenyltetrazolium. The water extract of heierbergen can stimulate the uterus of guinea pigs, and it can also strengthen the contraction of uterus.

[toxicity] excessive use of black wave can cause gastrointestinal mucosal inflammation, strong vomiting, severe diarrhea, vertigo, spasm, convulsion and death. Fresh root can cause dermatitis and even foaming when used in toes.

Bitter, cool and poisonous.

Functions and indications: clearing away heat and toxin, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain. Treat cystitis, urethritis, sores, boils, swelling, injury, strain.

[usage and dosage] oral administration: decoct soup, 1-2 yuan; or soak in wine. External use: tamping.

Avoid eating hot food and buckwheat flour within two hours after taking the medicine. (the following is Shaanxi Chinese herbal medicine)
