Antitussive Effect of Fritillaria unibracteata Hsiao et K. C. Hsia
This experiment was conducted to clarify the antitussive effect of Fritillaria unibracteata Hsiao et K. C. Hsia. The antitussive effect in ethanol (75, 50, 30%) extracts from F. unibracteata was relatively high. The ethanol extracts of 20, 40 mg/kg concentrations were especially good antitussive effect. The ethanol extracts of F. unibracteata showed lower antitussive activities of 20~30% than sodium chloride injection used as a blank space control.
