[pharmacological action] 1

In vitro, it can inhibit a variety of bacteria (typhoid, paratyphoid, Escherichia coli, proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pertussis, Vibrio cholerae, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Diplococcus pneumoniae, meningococcus, etc.). There are some differences in the sensitivity of various bacteria. Generally speaking, it has a strong inhibitory effect on Salmonella, especially on typhoid and paratyphoid bacilli in vitro; at high concentration, it can inhibit Shigella, while at low concentration, it has a strong effect on Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shigella, Shi. It is also said that honeysuckle extract is effective against Staphylococcus aureus, but not against Escherichia coli. It also has bacteriostatic effect on some common bacteria (pneumococcus, Streptococcus A and Catacoccus) in chronic tracheitis (plate method). In addition, in vitro, the sensitive bacteria had the morphological change of cell expansion, but the nature of Gram staining was not affected. High pressure disinfection can significantly affect its antibacterial effect. The effect of decocting was also weakened. Its real active ingredient has not been put forward until now. It was reported as a non-volatile oil in early years. Its water solubility is very high and its property is relatively stable. The cold storage solution can last for 3-4 weeks and still has antibacterial effect. It is reported that Yunye has stronger antibacterial effect than Huahua, which remains to be studied.

Honeysuckle has some inhibitory effects on Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro. In the experimental treatment of mice inoculated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, honeysuckle can also significantly reduce the lung lesions, but the direct smear and culture of organs can still find tuberculosis. Its water extract (1:4) has slight inhibitory effect on some skin fungi in vitro. Although the effect of Decoction on skin fungi in vitro is very small, some fungi show different degrees of green halo on the medium containing honeysuckle (30%), and its significance remains to be clarified. The antibacterial effect of water decoction on Leptospira in vitro was stronger than that of alcohol extract, and weaker than that of Coptis chinensis or Litchi chinensis. It can also delay the pathological effect of respiratory virus on cells. Yinqiaosan mixture can inactivate PR strain influenza virus in vitro, but has no effect on virus reproduction in chicken embryo.

② Other functions

If the fasting rats were given a large amount of cholesterol, just as if they were given honeysuckle (2.5 g / kg), the blood cholesterol level was lower than that of the control group, so honeysuckle seems to reduce the intestinal absorption of cholesterol. The results showed that the fluid extract had no obvious effect on the respiration, blood pressure and urine volume of rabbits and dogs, the respiratory amplitude increased slightly, the blood pressure changed slightly, but it was not consistent; the absorption was not complete after oral administration or injection, and it had stimulating effect on local area. The median lethal dose of subcutaneous injection in mice was 53 g / kg. It is also reported that honeysuckle hot water extract has mild preventive effect on gastric ulcer induced by pylorus ligation in rats, and its preventive effect is stronger when it is combined with pig kidney, Poria cocos, ginseng, Euryale ferox and Zhenzhu; the extract of the above mixture has no direct effect on cancer cells, but can reduce the decrease of catalase and cholinesterase activities in liver of cancer animals.
