3、 Pharmacological action of scholar
1. anti Ascaris effect: shijunzi has a strong inhibitory effect on earthworms, leeches, Ascaris lumbricoides and so on in vitro test. It has been reported that 10% aqueous extract of shijunzi can make earthworms comatose or die within 0.5-2 hours, but 95% ethanol extract is ineffective. Someone tested the insecticidal effect of 50% ethanol extract of 20 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine on Ascaris lumbricoides, earthworms and leeches. The results showed that 8 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine had significant effects, especially the effect of shijunzi. The head tracing experiment of Ascaris lumbricoides showed that the extract of semen Scutellariae had a strong effect of paralyzing the head of Ascaris lumbricoides. Before paralysis, there was often a stimulus phenomenon first. Its effective ingredient was water-soluble. High concentration alcohol, petroleum ether and chloroform extracts were ineffective, and the ash of semen Scutellariae was also ineffective. It is generally believed that the effective ingredient of the scutellaria root is the potassium scutellaria root. Potassium hybridate has obvious inhibitory effect on the whole Ascaris lumbricoides in vitro, but it cannot kill it. The shijunsuan extracted by the Japanese from Mao shijunzi also has obvious effects on Ascaris lumbricoides, and can cause the overall movement disorder of Ascaris lumbricoides. Its minimum effective concentration is 1:1000. However, some people once obtained pyridine and its analogues from shijunzi, the content of which is about 1 / 1000, and pyridines have insecticidal and insect repellent effects, so it is believed that shijunzi's anti Ascaris effect may also be related to this. In addition, it was reported that the mixture of castor oil and scholar's stone oil also has obvious anti Ascaris effect on humans and animals.
2. pinworm repellent effect: the experimental results of mice naturally infected with pinworm showed that the combination of shijunzi powder, shijunzi powder and Stemona powder had a certain pinworm repellent effect. For larvae, shijunzi powder was ineffective, but the combination of shijunzi powder and Stemona powder had a slight effect.
3. anti dermatophyte effect: shijunzi water extract has different degrees of inhibitory effect on dermatophytes such as Trichophyton violaceum, Trichophyton concentric, Xanthomonas schrenckii, P. audouang, P. ferruginosa, P. laniformis, P. inguinal epidermis, P. astrosus and other dermatophytes in vitro.
4. other effects: shijunzi powder has a certain effect of driving pinworms against naturally infected mouse pinworm disease. When combined with Baibu powder, the efficacy is better than that when used alone, and it also has a slight effect on larvae. The water extract (1:3) has some inhibitory effects on some skin fungi in the test tube. Anti intestinal parasites: 36% concentration of water extract or ethanol extract can paralyze Ascaris lumbricoides cultivated in vitro for 5 minutes; ; The 100% prodrugs of semen Polygoni, shell and leaf had a paralytic effect on earthworms, and the effect of leaf was stronger than that of kernel and shell, but the toxicity was less; 0.1% potassium tetrachlorite can kill earthworms within 8 hours, and also inhibit Ascaris lumbricoides.
