Anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and antitussive properties of in ICR mice.

Context: (KOG) is a traditional mixed herb preparation consisting of CA Meyer (Araliaceae), Wolf (Polyporaceae), (Gaertner) Liboschitz ex Steudel (Orobanchaceae), and honey. Various pharmacological effects of KOG are reported, but the efficacy on respiratory diseases has not been evaluated.

Objective: The anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and antitussive properties of KOG were examined using animal models of respiratory diseases.

Ginseng berry aqueous extract prevents scopolamine-induced memory impairment in mice.

Ginseng berry exhibits a diverse range of pharmacological activities. The present study aimed to examine the neuroprotective effects of ginseng berry aqueous extract (GBE) against oxidative stress and to assess the impact of GBE on memory impairment in mice. In HT-22 cells, GBE pretreatment significantly inhibited glutamate- and hydrogen peroxide-mediated cytotoxicity in a concentration-dependent manner, while treatment with up to 100 µg/ml GBE alone did not change cell viability.

Antitussive, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory effects of Adenophorae Radix powder in ICR mice.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Adenophora triphylla var. japonica is frequently used as an oriental medicinal plant in Korea, China, and Japan for its anti-inflammatory, antitussive, and hepatoprotective effects.

Aim Of The Study: In the present study, the antitussive, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory effects of AR powder were investigated using animal models to evaluate their potential to treat respiratory disorders.
