去氧乌头碱的抗炎、镇痛和解热作用

本文报告了新近以伏毛铁棒锤中提得的去氧乌头碱(DAC)的抗炎、镇痛和解热作用实验结果,并与已报道过的3-乙酰乌头碱(3AAC)进行比较。DAC0.8mg/kg (ip)显著抑制巴豆油所致小鼠耳廓肿;0.2mg/kg(ip或sc)显著抑制角叉菜胶或甲醛所致大鼠足爪肿、组胺所致大鼠皮肤渗出及醋酸所致小鼠腹腔渗出。于大鼠角叉菜胶足爪肿模型,测得DAC(ip)的抗炎治疗指数(6.38)略高于3AAC(5.92)。醋酸扭体法测得DAC抑制小鼠扭体反应50％的剂量为0.22±0.06mg/kg(sc);热板法测得DAC的小鼠镇痛ED_(50)为0.41±0.10mg/kg(ip),其镇痛治疗指数(6.37)高于3AAC(4.60)。DAC0.24mg/kg(ip)对伤寒副伤寒混合菌苗所致家兔发热有显著解热作用。     

Enhancement of lidocaine-induced epidural anesthesia by deoxyaconitine in the rabbit

Purpose.Aconiti tuber has been used in traditional Oriental medicine to alleviate pain. The antinociceptive property of aconiti tuber is due to the action of its extracted alkaloids such as deoxyaconitine. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of epidural deoxyaconitine on epidural lidocaine anesthesia. Methods.Five adult rabbits were used. Three different combinations of drugs were injected into the epidural space, in the following order: first (combination A), 1.5ml of 2% lidocaine; second (combination B), 1.5ml of 2% lidocaine and 150µg deoxyaconitine; and third (combination C), 3mg nor-binaltorphimine followed by 1.5ml of 2% lidocaine and 150µg deoxyaconitine 30min later. The latency of onset and the duration of three end-points (sensory loss in the tail, loss of weight-bearing ability, and flaccid paresis of hind limb) were measured. Results.Onset times for the three end-points were not changed by deoxyaconitine or by nor-binaltorphimine. The duration of sensory loss was 27.0 ± 2.7min, the duration of loss of weight-bearing ability was 33.0 ± 2.7min, and the duration of flaccid paresis was 21.0 ± 4.2min in the combination A group. In the combination B group, deoxyaconitine extended the time of sensory loss by 80%, the time of loss of weight-bearing by 50%, and that of flaccid paresis by 60% compared with the combination A group. In the combination C group, this phenomenon was partially antagonized by pretreatment with nor-binaltorphimine, a -opioid antagonist. Conclusions.Based on our observations, deoxyaconitine enhanced epidural lidocaine anesthesia in the rabbit, and this effect seemed to be partly mediated by -opioid receptors.
