ANTI-STRESS EFFECT OF THE FAR EASTERN PLANTS
Abstract
In view of the fact that the problem of stress is important, search of drugs with anti-stress effect is becoming an urgent thing. The source of such drugs can be phytogenic raw materials. Methods. The article considers the extractions out of more than 200 species of the Far Eastern plants. The researchers caused stress by immobilization of test animals (mice) treated with the extracts studied. Manifestations of stressing effects were analyzed on the basis of change in the mass of the adrenal glands, thymus and spleen, as well as the severity of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. Results. The research involves 10 species of plants, the extracts of which showed the greatest anti-stress effect. Conclusion. The most anti-stress activity is typical of Bergenia pacifica Kom., Aconitum volubile Pall., Manchurian walnut (Juglans mandshurica Maxim.), Schisandra chinensis Turcz., Lespedeza bicolor Turcz., Spiny Eleuterococcus (Eleutherococcus senticosus Maxim.), Amur grape (Vitis amurensis Rupr.), Dictamnus dasycar-pus Turcz., Amur lilac (Syringa amurensis Rupr.) and Manchurian Aralia (Aralia mandshurica Rupr. et Maxim.).
