Abstract

The invention provides an application of licorice flavonoids in preparing antitussives for treating acute and chronic cough caused by a plurality of reasons. The related acute and chronic cough comprises cough symptoms caused by various diseases such as acute and chronic tracheitis, asthma, chronic obstructive disease of lung, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, tuberculosis, bacterial pneumonia, bronchiectasis and the like. The licorice flavonoids extracted from liquorice proves to have very strong effect in preventing cough according to pharmacological tests; drug potency thereof is similar to the drug potency of codein in narcotic antitussive; the function mechanism analyses indicate that the licorice flavonoids plays the role of preventing cough through the non-narcotic nerve centre. In addition, the licorice flavonoids extracted from natural plants can also be prepared into health food.

Examples

Embodiment 1

[0017] 1. Pharmacodynamics test

specific Embodiment approach

[0018] We first simulated clinical cough symptoms and established 2 kinds of guinea pig cough animal models. After applying the model research, we found that the medicine prepared by licorice flavonoids of the present invention can inhibit citric acid or Capsaicin-induced cough reflex in guinea pigs, giving lysergide (Methysergide, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor blocker) 3mg / kg (ip) in advance can block the inhibitory effect of licorice flavonoids on citric acid-induced guinea pig cough reflex; Lebenclamide (Glibenclamide, an ATP-sensitive potassium ion channel blocker) 20mg / kg (ip) slightly weakened the inhibitory effect of licorice flavonoids on citric acid-induced cough reflex in guinea pigs. Naloxone (Naloxone, opioid receptor blocker) 0.3mg / kg (ip) can not block the inhibitory effect of licorice flavonoids on citric acid-induced cough reflex in guinea pigs, while naloxone can block the effect of licorice flavones on citric acid Inhibition of the induced cough reflex in guin...
