  • Title: [Effect of tremulacin on actions of SRS-A and histamine].
    Author: Yang DX, He KQ, Cheng GF.
    Journal: Yao Xue Xue Bao; 1995; 30(4):254-7. PubMed ID: 7544944.
    Abstract:
    The effect of tremulacin (TRC) extracted from Mao Bai Yang (Folia Populus tomentosa Carr) on actions of SRS-A and histamine were investigated by using isolated guinea pig ileum and spectrofluorometric assay. TRC was found to inhibit the contraction of isolated guinea pig ileum induced by histamine and SRS-A, in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 of 1.78 x 10(-4) mol.L-1 and 2.51 x 10(-4) mol.L-1, respectively. TRC at the dose of 10(-4) mol.L-1 inhibited SRS-A release from sensitized isolated guinea pig lung. While at the dose of 10(-5) mol.L-1 inhibited histamine release from the peritoneal mast cells in sensitized rats. These results indicate that inhibition of the release of histamine and SRS-A may play an important role in the mechanism of antiinflammatory actions of TRC.
