Abstract:

Objective: To study the effects of a mixture of ferulic acid and gastrodin on spontaneous activity in mice, we explored the pharmacological effects on the central nervous system. Methods: 50 healthy adult mice were randomly divided into five groups, each 10 mixture times the dose groups, respectively. The negative control group (ig same volume of saline) (ig ferulic acid 0.76mg • kg-1, gastrodin 1.06mg • kg-1), a 2-fold dose group (ig ferulic acid 1.52mg • kg-1, gastrodin 2.12mg • kg-1), 4-fold dose group (ig ferulic acid 3.04mg • kg-1, gastrodin 4.24mg • kg-1), 8-fold dose group (ig ferulic acid 6.08mg • kg-1, gastrodin 8.48mg • kg-1). We measured the spontaneous activity in mice before and after the administration of 10min, 20min, 30min, 40min, 50min, 60min, 80min, 100min, 120min, 180min, 240min, 360min. Results: Compared with the negative control group, there was a significant excitatory effect in 1-fold dose of spontaneous activity in mice in 60min, 80min, 100min (P<0.05, P<0.01); while 4-fold and 8-fold dose in 80min (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusions: There was an exciting effect of a mixture of ferulic acid and gastrodin in a certain dose range, but not in a dose-dependent manner.
