THE CONTRACTION EFFECT OF ALL] UM PORRUM SEEDS ON ISOLATED INTESTINE OF RABBITS

Authors

Abstract
Greater attention has been paid to the traditional medical practices in general and
herbal medicine in particular even in the developed countries. This study aimed to
investigate Allium porrum seeds for its potential contraction or relaxation effect on small
intestine in rabbits by using organ bath in vitro. In order to establish a dose-response
curve for the plant, six male rabbits were used in the experiment.
Pharmacological studies of the plant were done by comparing between intestinal
contraction after addition of the plant alone as agonist, and intestinal contraction after the
addition ofboth antaigon”ist’iidrugs then the plant extract.
A Allium porrum, showed a statistically significant dose-depend increase of intestinal
contraction.Atropine, adrenaline, and chlorpheniramine reduce the effect of A. porrum on
intestinal contraction. Both cholinergic and adrenergic mechanisms may involve the
action of the plant with more potent muscarinic action
