Pharmacological effects offerulopsis hystrix (bunge) pimenov
The spasmolytic, motor-evacuation and analgesic effects of Ferulopsis hystrix (Bunge) Pimenov dry extract were estimated in the experiments on white Wistar rats and white outbred mice. It has been established that the F. hystrix dry extract in doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg enhances the motor-evacuation function of the gastrointestinal tract, increasing the degree of passage of the “tag” on 42 and 39% (p < 0.05). The F. hystrix dry extract exhibits an analgesic effect, significantly reducing the acetic writhing amount. The F. hystrix dry extract at a dose of 200 mg/kg exhibits spasmolytic activity, weakening intestinal spasms induced by a 0.1% solution of barium chloride.
