The present invention discloses the use of a
Chimonanthus dahurica leaf extract in preparing a
drug for treating allergic rhinitis, and relates to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine. Based on an allergic rhinitis
animal model, the present invention investigates the effects of
Chimonanthus dahurica leaves on the behavior, nasal
mucosal tissue morphology, and serum inflammatory factor levels of AR rats, and clarifies the
pharmacodynamics of
Chimonanthus dahurica leaves in treating AR. That is, Chimonanthus dahurica leaves can significantly reduce the levels of IgE,
histamine, ICAM-1, and
inflammatory factors in the serum of rats with allergic rhinitis, and can also significantly improve the nasal mucosal symptoms of rats with allergic rhinitis, among which the Chimonanthus dahurica
leaf water extract has a better effect. At the same time, by preparing different
active component groups of Chimonanthus dahurica leaves, the effective parts of Chimonanthus dahurica for treating allergic rhinitis are screened, among which the 70%
ethanol elution group and the 50%
ethanol elution group have the best effects. The present invention has prospects for developing and preparing drugs for treating allergic rhinitis.
