| Pharmacology |
Pachman is an anticarcinogen.( 10) Administering pachman to mice (5mg/kg) by abdominal injection daily for ten consecutive days inhibits S180 with a 95% inhibition rate.( 11) Oral-feeding pachman to mice (250, 500, 1000mg/kg) daily for seven consecutive days enhances the phagocytic function of macrophage of both healthy and cancerous mice.( 12) Administering alcohol-based extract of this herb to rabbits at 0.5g/kg daily for five consecutive days shows a diuretic effect.( 13),( 14) Administered at the dosages of 5, 10, 20g/kg, the water decoction of fushen, a variation of this herb (with pine roots growing into it), counteracts the caffeine-induced excitation in mice.( 15) Injecting poria injection into hamsters at 1.4g/kg daily for eight consecutive days can counteract carbon tetrachloride-induced liver damage.( 16) Experiments show that the 100% water decoction of this herb inhibits Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus coli, and Bacillus proteus.( 17) |
