Colonic motility changes induced by sennosides in rats were studied by an original method, which permits the simultaneous projection of manometric and fluoroscopic registrations on a single monitor. The results of this study allowed us to confirm the laxative effect of sennosides by inducing mass movements within 60-80 min after intracecal administration leading to a complete emptying of the whole colon. These mass movements were preceded by hypotonia of cecum and colon and impeded pellet formation.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: TongXieYaoFang (TXYF), a classical formula used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is renowned for its efficacy in treating chronic abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Modern research suggests that fundamental relief from these symptoms depends on complete intestinal mucosal healing, which normalises gut secretory functions. Consensus between traditional and modern medical theories indicates that TXYF is particularly suitable for treating the remission phase of ulcerative colitis (UC).
