[The comparison of component contents and pharmacological actions between two kinds of processed products of Pinellia rhizoma prepared by ginger juice and alum]

Full Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare the component contents in Pinellia Rhizoma processed with ginger separately on orthogonal technology and pharmaceutical technology stipulated in pharmacopoeia, and study the action of the two differently processed products on animals. METHOD: Using gravimetric method and acid dye colorimetry to determine the total alkaloids, et al. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: The experiment has shown that the contents of total alkaloids of product of Pinellia Rhizoma processed by orthogonal technology are higher than those processed by pharmaceutical technology, but the contents of digged substances of the latter are higher than those of the former, and the toxicity of decoction of the latter is also higher than that of the former. Compared with raw Pinellia Rhizoma, the two products of Pinellia Rhizoma prepared by different technologies all have shown promoting action on PGE2 contents and activity of gastric proteinase in rat gastric juice. The experimental results also have shown that on the above mentioned items. There are no obvious differences between the product of Pinellia Rhizoma processed by orthogonal technology and the product processed by pharmaceutical technology. However, the component contents of raw Pinellia Rhizoma are lower than those of the above mentioned two processed products and help inhibit PGE2 contents and activity of gastric proteinase in rat gastric juice.
