Stony Brook   Quiz Exam M.S.N.Use of English ivy, Hedera helix in the treatment of whooping cough. Productive cough should be not suppressed; instead, mucus-dissolving agents are recommended. One of the expectorants, which increases the excretion volume, is the herbal medicine derived from ivy leaves. conclusion: Improvement in cough was reported in 93.3% subjects; improvement in chest pain on coughing was reported in 84.7%, in wheezing – in 90.0%, in dyspnoea – in 88.7%, and in auscultation changes – in 94.8%. In addition, decline or normalization of body temperature was found in 96.0% of subjects. No adverse drug reactions were reported. saponins isolated from ivy and / or the whole ivy extract possess also antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties [8]. These activities could have a beneficial role by treatment of cough accompanying bacterial or viral infections of the respiratory tract.Dry extract (DER 4-8:1), extraction solvent ethanol 24-30% m/m b) Dry extract (DER 6-7:1), extraction solvent ethanol 40% m/m c) Dry extract (DER 3-6:1), extraction solvent ethanol 60% m/m,d) Liquid extract (DER 1:1), extraction solvent,ethanol 70% V/V,e) Soft extract (DER 2.2-2.9:1), extraction,solvent ethanol 50% V/V:propylene glycol(98:2) constituents of the plant are:about 2.5-6% mostly bidesmosidic triterpene saponins with hederagenin, oleanolic acid and
bayogenin (= 2ß-hydroxyhederagenin) as aglycones and acylglycosidic sugar chains at C-28 of,the carboxyl group,small amounts of monodesmosides such as α-hederin and hederagenin-3-O-ß-D-glucoside,which can develop during the
