Pinellia ternata

Alanine aminotransferase inhibition. Decoction of dried rhizome, taken orally by human adults of both sexes at a dose of 7.5 g/day for 6 months, was active on 80 patients with hepatitis B antigen-positive chronic hepatitis. The study was conducted with a prescription that consists of B.upku-rum falcatum Bupleurum falcatum (Rt), Scutellaria baicalensis Scutellaria baicalensis (Rt), Pinellia ternata (Tu), Zizyphus jujuba (Fr), Panax ginseng (Rt), and Glycyrrhiza glabra (Rh) . 

Degranulation inhibition. Hot water extract of the rhizome, in cell culture at a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL, was active vs compound 48/40-induced degranulation of mast cells. A mixture of Bupleurum falcatum, Pinellia ternata, Poria cocos, Scutellaria bai-... 

Hypotensive activity. Methanol (50%) extract of the dried rhizome, administered intravenously to rats at doses of 0.25 and 0.5 g/kg (dry weight of plant), was active ° k Hypothermic activity. Hot water extract of a mixture of Pinellia ternata (Tu), Magnolia obovata (Bk), Perilla frutescens (Aer), Zin ber officinale (Rh), and Poria cocos (Fr) (6, 3, 2, 1, and 5 g, respectively), adminis-... 

Hot water extract of the rhizome, administered by gastric intubation to mice at a dose of 600 mg/kg, was inactive on LEUK-L1210. The preparation used also contained Bupleurum falcatum, Pinellia ternata, Scutellaria baicalensis, Zizyphus jujuba, Panax ginseng, and Glycyrrhiza glabra ° ... 

Prothrombin time decrease. Hot water extract of the rhizome, administered intragastrically to mice for 1 month, was active. The extract was used in combination with 7 g Bupleurum falcatum, 5 g Pinellia ternata, 3 g Scutellaria baicalensis, 2 g Gly-cyrrhiza glabra, 1 g Zingiber officinale, 3 g Panax ginseng, and 3 g Zizyphus jujuba in 700 mL water ° . 

Taste-modifying effect. Water extract of the dried rhizome, administered intragastri-cally to male rats at a dose of 50 mg/mL, increased activity of vagal gastric nerve. The extract also blocked the suppression of vagal gastric nerve activity induced by Pinellia ternata ° b...
