[pharmacological effects] 1. Fengcheng jixueteng tincture (40%, 0.5 ml / 100 g) has a significant effect on formaldehyde induced arthritis in rats. When the decoction or tincture is injected intravenously, equivalent to crude drug 0.01-0.4 g / kg, it has no significant effect on respiration, blood pressure and lower limb vascular perfusion in anesthetized dogs. Intraperitoneal injection of tincture (10 ml / kg) had sedative and hypnotic effects in rats. The dog died of poisoning after intravenous injection of 4.25 g / kg of crude drug. By measuring the "relative specific radioactivity" of total P32 in tissues of mice after injection of P32, it was observed that the decoction of Caulis Spatholobi (not specified in the variety) could promote the metabolism of total phosphorus in kidney and uterus of mice. It was considered that Caulis Spatholobi could enhance the energy metabolism of kidney and uterus of mice And anabolism. In addition, it can promote the excretion of water and chloride in mice.

② The results showed that the decoction of dried root of Sophora alopecuroides could inhibit the heart of toad in vitro and in vivo, reduce the blood pressure of anesthetized rabbits and dogs, but contract the blood vessels of toad and rabbit ears in vitro.
