Pharmacological Action

1. Antitussive effect.

2. Effects on the circulatory system.

3. Effects on smooth muscle.

4. Antispasmodic: Fritillaria bioalkali has an atropine-like effect. The isolated lung perfusion of rabbits and cats showed that low concentrations can relax the bronchi, while high concentrations have a slight contraction effect on the bronchi.

5. Effect on central nervous system: Subcutaneous injection of 2 mg/kg of thunbergine and dehydrothunbergine reduced the spontaneous activity of mice. Oral gavage of 4 mg/kg prolonged the sleep time of mice induced by sodium pentobarbital. Subcutaneous injection of 2 mg/kg showed analgesic effect in the acetic acid writhing test of mice.

6. Other effects: Eye drops of Fritillaria thunbergii alkaline solution given to dogs, cats and rabbits can dilate their pupils and eliminate their light reflex; intravenous injection into anesthetized dogs can temporarily stop their saliva secretion, but its inhibitory effect is 20 to 30 times smaller than that of atropine, so there is no dry mouth after oral administration of Fritillaria thunbergii. Animal experiments have shown that the alkali in Fritillaria thunbergii has a respiratory depressant effect.
