Popis: SPASMOLYTIC ACTIVITY OF THE CONSTITUENTS OF A HERBAL ANTIDIARRHEIC DRUGThe constituents of Diarrhoesan ® , apple pectin and chamomile flower fluid extract were tested alone and in combination for additive or antagonistic effects. As test system, the inhibition of the spasmodic effect of K + in isolated rat ileum was chosen. K+ induced a contraction in a concentration dependent manner between 3.2 and 32 mM KCl. The results obtained with the reference group (4 × 10 -5 M papaverine) confirm the sensitivity of the test system. Pectin (2.5 mg/ml) alone had no effect. The chamomile fluid extract (2.0 mg/ml) proved to be spasmolytic. In combination with pectin the effect of the chamomile extract (same concentrations used) was unchanged, except for the irrelevant high K + concentration of 32 mM. These findings show that the addition of pectin does not influence the spasmolytic effect of chamomile fluid extract.
