Stem and leaf Decoction (5.4G (crude drug) / kg) by gavage (injection, the effect is not significant) has mild cooling effect on rabbits with artificial fever, but root preparation has no obvious effect. The antipyretic effect seems to have nothing to do with pituitary adrenal system. The root preparation has vasodilative effect on isolated rabbit ears and excitatory effect on isolated rabbit, guinea pig and mouse intestines.
