The invention discloses an application of kochia
saponin in preparation of a
medicine for treating helminthosis, an in-vitro effectiveness experiment result of the kochia
saponin on an
echinococcosis multilocularis protoscolex shows that the killing effect of the kochia
saponin on the protoscolex has time and
concentration dependence, the death rates of 10 [mu] M, 20 [mu] M and 50 [mu] M of kochia saponin treated for 6 h are 8.05% + / -0.39%, 89.23% + / -1.48% and 100% respectively, and the death rates of 10 [mu] M, 20 [mu] M and 50 [mu] M of kochia saponin treated for 24 h are all 100%; meanwhile, results of in-vitro effectiveness experiments of kochia saponin on trichina at different development stages show that after the trichina is treated for 72 hours under the concentration of 50 mu M, 80 mu M and 100 mu M, the death rates of muscular larvae are 86.24% + / -1.15%, 90.17% + / -1.24% and 90.86% + / -2.10% respectively;
after treatment for 24 hours, the death rates of the newborn larvae are respectively 12.71% + / -2.36%, 57.80% + / -2.23% and 79.60% + / -1.52%, all the newborn larvae die after 48 hours, and the killing effect is obvious. Besides, the applicant confirms that the
mogroside can directly destroy the epidermis structure and
cell integrity of the
insect body for the first time through
microscope observation, and the discovery provides visual morphological evidence for the anti-parasitic effect of the
mogroside.
