Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0001]    The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and in particular to a phillyrin/phillygeninin composition or mixture and its use in the preparation of drugs or health products for alleviating or/and treating viral diseases. 
       BACKGROUND ART 
       [0002]    Influenza is one of acute and viral respiratory infectious diseases which are seriously harmful to human health. Since the 21st century, the prevalence of SARS, virus H5N1 and influenza virus type A H1N1 bring great harms to human beings. At present, there are still no natural drugs capable of effectively treating viral influenza and pneumonia in the world. 
         [0003]    Fructus Forsythiae is dried fruits of Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl (Oleaceae), which is mainly grown in Henan, Shanxi, Shanxi, Shandong provinces and other places in China, as well as Hubei, Hebei, Sichuan and Gansu provinces. Forsythiae is commonly used for treating diseases of acute wind-heat common cold, carbuncle and sore, tuberculous lymphadenitis, urinary tract infection, etc. The major components of Forsythia suspensa include phillyrin and phillyrin aglycone (also known as phillygeninin), and the structure of the two components are represented by the following formulae.

         [0004]    Phillyrin, as a major component of Forsythia suspensa, has antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, free radical scavenging and other pharmacological effects. Phillygeninin, also known as a major active component of Forsythia suspensa, has antioxidant, blood lipid lowering, free radical scavenging, bacteriostasis, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effects. The published literatures were mainly directed to study on the antiviral pharmacological effects of Forsythia suspensa extracts containing unknown components and several known components, and phillyrin single component. However, the antiviral pharmacological effects of the phillygeninin/phillyrin composition and the phillygeninin single component were not studied yet.

         [0110]    The above drugs, which were diluted with a maintenance solution (DMEM containing 2% of fetal bovine serum) and had different concentrations, were added dropwise to the Vero monolayer cell, 0.2 ml for each well, the drugs were added in sextuplicate in 6 wells respectively. In addition, 6 wells were set up as normal control group (without drugs) while another 6 pores as blank control group (medium only). Cells were grown in a 37° C. incubator under 5% CO 2 . CPE was observed with an inverted microscope and recorded every day. After 72 h, 20 μL MTT solution (5 mg·mL −1 ) was added into each well to continue incubation for 4 h. The culture medium in each well was sucked and discarded, 100 μL DMSO was added to each well. Then the culture was shaken for 5 min, measured OD value at 492 nm to calculate the cell survival ratio. The cell survival ratio was analyzed using a Probit regression model in SPSS 18.0 statistical software, and the maximal nontoxic concentration (TC 0 ) and median toxic concentration (TC 50 ) of drugs against Vero cells were calculated. 
         [0111]    (3) Determination of TCID 50  of Various Viruses 
         [0112]    Various viruses were diluted by 10-fold decrements to have different dilutions of 10 −1 , 10 −2 , 10 −3 , 10 −4 , 10 −5 , and 10 −6 , and were sequentially inoculated onto a 96-well culture plate with monolayer Vero cells, 100 μL for each well, 6 wells for each dilution, and meanwhile, a normal cell control group was set up. It was incubated in 5% CO 2  at 37° C. for 2 h, the virus solution was discarded, thereupon 100 μL of cell maintenance solution was added to each well, and continued to incubate in 5% CO 2  at 37° C. The cytopathic results were observed under a microscope from the 3rd day on, and the results were determined and recorded on the 7th or 8th day, such that the highest dilution capable of causing positive lesion to occur in 50% of the cell wells was taken as the end point where positive lesion occurred in, and the virus titer was calculated by using a karber method.

         [0117]    (4) Impact of the Drug on the Virus-Induced Cytopathic Effects 
         [0118]    A culture plate covered with monolayer cells was adopted, the culture medium was sucked and discarded, cells were inoculated at a virus attack amount corresponding to 100TCID 50 , absorbed in an incubator at 37° C. with 5% CO 2  for 2 h, various drug liquids with specific concentrations (about the maximal non-cytotoxic concentration or so) were added, and 6 wells were provided for culture for each concentration, 200 μL/well. Ribavirin injection and oseltamivir phosphate were provided as the positive drug control group, and a normal control group (neither virus nor drug was added) and a viral control group (a control group adding virus but no drug) were also provided, and the impact of the drug on the virus-induced CPE was observed. After 72 hours, the OD value was measured under 492 nm wavelength by using an MTT colorimetric method to calculate the antiviral effective rate (ER %) of the drugs. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) method in SPSS 18.0 statistical software was used to determine if there was a significant difference among different drugs groups on antiviral efficiency. 
         [0000]      ER %=(the average OD value of the drug treated group−the average OD value of the virus control group)/(the average OD value of the cell control group−the average OD value of the virus control group)×100%

This indicates that the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition has a synergistic effect.

         [0132]    (1) Determination of the Median Lethal Dose of the Mice Due to Influenza Virus and Parainfluenza Virus 
         [0133]    The influenza virus and the parainfluenza virus (cell lysate) were diluted by a 10-fold decrement into virus liquids with concentrations of 10 −1 , 10 −2 , 10 −13  10 −4 , and 10 −5 . 120 Kunming mice were obtained, 60 of which were provided for the influenza virus group and the remaining 60 were provided for the parainfluenza virus group; the 60 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups separately; the mice were lightly anesthetized with ether, and were infected with virus liquids having different dilutions at 0.03 mL/mouse by means of nasal dripping. Meanwhile blank control group was set, and the virus suspension was replaced with saline. Death and survival were regarded as the observational indexes, and observation was performed every day until 14 days after infection. Those mices died within 24 hours after infection were nonspecific death and not counted up, and the virus liquid LD50 was calculated by using the Karber method. The calculation formula is:

         [0134]    (2) Research on Resistance of the Phillyrin/Phillygeninin Composition to Pneumonia Caused by Anti-Influenza Virus and Parainfluenza Virus Infection. 
         [0135]    1) Test Animals and Groups 
         [0136]    540 four weeks old Kunming mice were adopted to perform two tests. 
         [0137]    First, 270 mice were adopted and randomly divided into 27 groups (10 mice for each group) for the test of determining lung index of the mice infected by the influenza virus and parainfluenza virus and lung index inhibition rate of the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition; 90 mice were adopted for each test, and the test was repeated for 3 times. Additional 270 mice were adopted and randomly divided into 27 groups (10 mice for each group) for the test of determining lung suspension virus hemagglutination titer of the composition of phillyrin and phillygeninin; 90 mice were adopted for each test, and the test was repeated for 3 times. 
         [0138]    2) Infection Method 
         [0139]    Degreasing cotton was placed in a 200-300 mL beaker, and then a suitable amount of ether (just for making the cotton wet) was poured therein, the beaker containing the degreasing cotton was inverted upside down, the mice were put therein for anesthetization; when the mice were extremely excited and obviously weak, the mice were made to lie on their backs and infected with 15LD 50  influenza virus and parainfluenza virus by means of nasal dripping at 0.03 ml/nostril; and the virus suspension was replaced with saline in the normal control group. 
         [0140]    3) Administration Method and Administration Dosage 
         [0141]    The phillyrin/phillygeninin composition group A, the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition group B, the phillygeninin group, the phillyrin group, the ribavirin control group and the oseltamivir phophate control group are separately taken for conventional intragastric administration one day before infection; the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition groups A and B were high, medium and low dose groups respectively, and the administration doses were 13.0, 6.5, and 3.25 mg/kg respectively; the administration dose of the phillyrin group was 13 mg/kg, the administration dose of the phillygeninin group was 13 mg/kg, the administration dose of the ribavirin positive drug group was 58.5 mg/kg, the administration dose of the oseltamivir phosphate group was 19.5 mg/kg, the administration was performed once a day for 5 consecutive days, and perfusion of normal saline of the same volume is performed for the normal control group and the virus control group. 
         [0142]    4) Observational Index 
         [0143]    {circle around (1)} Lung Index Determination 
         [0144]    On the fifth day after drugs were administered to the mice, first the mice were prohibited from drinking water for 8 hours; then, after the mice were weighed, their eyes were removed and the animals were sacrificed by exsanguination through eye enucleation. Then the lungs were removed after the opening of the chest, washed twice with normal saline followed by removal of the moisture from surface with a filter paper and weighed by using an electronic balance. Lung index and the inhibitory rate of the lung index were calculated according to the following equations: 
         [0000]      Lung index=(mice lung weight/mice body weight)×100%;
 
         [0000]      Inhibitory rate of the lung index=(average lung index of the infection model group−average lung index of the test group)/average lung index of the infection model group×100%.
 
         [0145]    {circle around (2)} Determination of Lung Suspension Virus Hemagglutination Titer 
         [0146]    Various groups of mice lungs were respectively taken on the fifth day after treatment, and were ground into homogenate by a homogenizer at a low temperature; the homogenate was diluted into 10% of lung tissue suspension with normal saline; centrifugation was performed to obtain a supernatant, which was double diluted and dripped to a titration plate with 0.2 ml/well; 0.2 ml of 1% chicken erythrocyte suspension was added into each well and mixed uniformly; the titration plate was placed in a room temperature environment for 30 minutes to observe and record hemagglutination titers. The end point appears when the erythrocyte was agglutinated to be (++), and its titer was expressed by the suspension dilution multiple. 
         [0147]    2.3 Test Results and Analysis 
         [0148]    (1) Determination Result of the Median Lethal Dose of the Mice Due to the Influenza Virus and the Parainfluenza Virus 
         [0149]    Kunming mice in the test groups were respectively infected nasally with 30 μL of influenza virus and parainfluenza virus liquids of different concentrations; on the third day of infection, all of the mice in the first three groups (10 −1  group, 10 −2  group and 10 −3  group based on virus concentrations) experienced disease symptoms of different degrees: pilomotor fur, trembling, degreased appetite and so on; on the fifth day, the mice stumble; on the sixth day, the mice in the group of the highest virus concentration began to die, and death occurred successively in the remaining groups on the seventh day after infection. After the observation of 14 days was complete, the mortality of the mice of each group was counted, and the result can be seen in Tables 1-4 and 1-5. By calculation, LD 50  of the influenza virus was a dilution of 10 −2.9 , and LD 50  of the parainfluenza virus was a dilution of 10 −2.5 .

         [0152]    (2) Results of Effects of the Phillyrin/Phillygeninin Composition on Resistance to Pneumonia Caused by the Influenza Virus and Parainfluenza Virus Infections. 
         [0153]    {circle around (1)} Lung Index Determination 
         [0154]    After the mice were infected with the influenza virus and the parainfluenza virus, the average lung index result showed that: compared with the infection model group, the lung indexes of the normal control group, the phillyrin group (13.0 mg/kg/d), the phillygeninin group (16.0 mg/kg/d), the three dose groups of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B (low-dose group 3.25 mg/kg/d, medium-dose group 6.5 mg/kg/d, high-dose group 13.0 mg/kd/d), the ribavirin group, and the oseltamivir phosphate group decrease significantly (P&lt;0.05 or P&lt;0.01), wherein the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition has significant protective effect within the concentration range of 3.25-13.0 mg/kg/d, significantly decrease all the lung indexes, and has a significantly better therapeutic effect on the inhibition rate to the lung tissue lesion index than the phillyrin group and the phillygeninin group (P&lt;0.01 or P&lt;0.05). See Tables 1-6 and 1-7 for the results.

         [0157]    {circle around (2)} Determination of Lung Suspension Virus Hemagglutination Titer 
         [0158]    After the mice were infected with the influenza virus and the parainfluenza virus, the lung tissue hemagglutination titers (InX) of the infection model groups were 32.40 and 33.11 respectively; after treatment with the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B of different concentrations for 5 days, the lung tissue virus hemagglutination titers both decreased to some extent, and compared with the infection model groups, the difference was significant (P&lt;0.01), and their different dose groups of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B have significantly lower influenza and parainfluenza virus hemagglutination titers than the phillyrin group and the phillygeninin group (P&lt;0.05-P&lt;0.001). This indicates that the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition has the synergistic effect, and has a significantly higher inhibition rate to the virus proliferation than the phillyrin group and the phillygeninin group (P&lt;0.05-P&lt;0.001), wherein, the high, medium and low dose groups of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B have significantly higher inhibition rate to the lung suspension hemagglutination titer of the influenza virus infected mice than the phillyrin group and the phillygeninin group (P&lt;0.01-P&lt;0.001). See Tables 1-8 and 1-9 for the details of the above test results.

       2.1 Test of Effects of the Phillyrin/Phillygeninin Composition on Sweat Secretion of Rat Paws (Coloring Method) 
       [0183]    (1) Materials and Methods 
         [0184]    The test is based on a mechanism that distribution of sweat glands is present in footpads of rat paws, the amount of sweat secretion and variation thereof can be observed by using a mechanism that a purple color can be produced by contacting iodine and starch when encountered with sweat. 
         [0185]    500 Wistar rats with equal male and female number were used, weighing of 120˜150 g. These rats were randomly divided into 50 groups by weight and gender, i.e., namely 5 groups for the control groups (0.5% methyl cellulose), 5 groups for phillyrin groups, 5 groups for phillygeninin groups, 5 groups for the low, medium and high dose groups (2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg, respectively) of phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B respectively, and 5 groups for the positive drug pilocarpine groups (35 mg/kg). Each group has 10 rats, 10 groups of rates are used for each test, which has 5 time periods (1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 min). The rats were placed into a self-made rat fixation bag, and both hind limbs of the rats were exposed. Dirt on the right paws was gently cleaned away using cotton swabs containing anhydrous alcohol. Pilocarpine solution was administered by subcutaneous injection, the remaining groups were subjected to intragastric administration. At 1 h (30 min for the pilocarpine group) after administration, pre-existing sweat and sweat generated due to struggle on the right paw of each rat in each group was gently wiped away with dry cotton swabs, then the paws were coated with solution A (dissolving 2 g iodine in 100 ml anhydrous alcohol) of Hetian-gaoyuanshi&#39;s reagent. After complete dryness, the paws were thinly coated with solution B (uniform mixture of 50 g soluble starch and 100 ml castor oil) of Hetian-gaoyuanshi&#39;s reagent. The color and number of dark purple coloring spots (i.e. sweat spots) were carefully observed at 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 min after the coating of the solution B respectively with magnifying glass. After the test was completed, statistical treatment was performed according to the rank sum test with two-sample comparison, thereby comparing the differences among the various groups. 
         [0186]    (2) Results 
         [0187]    Compared with the control group, the medium and high dose groups (5, 10 mg/kg) of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions both have significant promoting effects on the sweat secretion of the rat paws at 10, 15 and 20 min after the coating of solution B (p&lt;0.05), and the 2.5 mg/kg group of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions has a significant promoting effect on the sweat secretion of the rat paws at 15 and 20 min after the coating of solution B (p&lt;0.05). Their sudorific functions were approximately equivalent to that of the positive drug pilocarpine, and these groups had characteristics of slowly promoting the sweat secretion of the rat paws. The high dose group of the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition has a significantly better prompting effect on the sweat secretion of the rat paws at 10, 15 and 20 min after the coating of solution B than the phillyrin and the phillygeninin (p&lt;0.05). The medium dose group of the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition has a significantly better prompting effect on the sweat secretion of the rat paws at 10 and 15 min after the coating of solution B than the phillyrin and the phillygeninin (p&lt;0.05). The low dose group of phillyrin/phillygeninin composition has a significantly better prompting effect on the sweat secretion of the rat paws at 15 min after the coating of solution B than the phillyrin and the phillygeninin (p&lt;0.05). The above results showed that the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition has a significantly better effect on promotion of the sweat secretion of rat paws than the phillyrin and the phillygeninin.

         [0195]    2.2 Effects of the Phillyrin/Phillygeninin Composition on the Sweat Secretion of the Rat Paws (Histomorphological Observation Method) 
         [0196]    (1) Materials and Methods 
         [0197]    This test is based on a mechanism that when a rat is in an excited state, in addition to the increase of sweat secretion of sweat glands, the morphology of sweat gland epithelial cells changes accordingly. Under an optical microscope, it can be seen that the sweat gland epithelial cell vacuoles increase in number and expand. Under an electron microscope, such expanded vacuoles appear to be mitochondria in the sweat gland epithelial cell swelling, breakage and fusion and expansion of secretory vesicle. Therefore, through histomorphological observation of sweat gland epithelial tissue of a rat paw, secretory activities of the sweat gland can be known. 
         [0198]    300 Wistar rats with equal male and female number, weighing 120˜160 g were used. These rats were randomly divided into 30 groups by weight and gender: control groups (0.5% of methyl cellulose), phillygeninin groups, phillyrin groups, low, medium and high dose groups (2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg) of phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B separately, and positive drug pilocarpine groups (35 mg/kg). Each group has 10 rats, the test is repeated 3 times for each group. Pilocarpine solution was administered by subcutaneous injection, the remaining groups were subjected to intragastric administration. After administration of the 0.5% of methyl cellulose in the control group for one hour, after administration of the pilocarpine in the positive drug group for 30 min, and after administration of the phillyrin, the phillygeninin and the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition for one hour, the right hind limb was instantly cut off at the ankle joint to immediately take down the footpad of the right hind limb and placed into 10% of formaldehyde solution. The footpads were fixed, dehydrated, embedded, sliced and stained with HE by using conventional methods. Changes in sweat gland epithelial cells of the rat paws from each group were observed under an optical microscope, to mainly observe the percentage of vacuolization. The differences among the various groups was performed through X 2  test for statistical analysis. The above test was repeated 3 times. 
         [0000]      Percentage of vacuolization=(the number of vacuolized sweat glands)/(the number of sweat glands observed)×100%.
 
         [0199]    (2) Results 
         [0200]    Compared with the control group, extremely significant promoting effect was observed on the sweat secretion of the rat paws (p&lt;0.001) of the 2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg groups of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B. The low, medium and high dose groups (2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg) of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions have significantly better therapeutic effects than the phillyrin and the phillygeninin (p&lt;0.001 or p&lt;0.01). This demonstrated that the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions have synergetic effects. See Table 2-6 for the details of test results.

         [0000]    2.3 Effects of the Phillyrin/Phillygeninin Composition on Rat Fever Induced by Beer Yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) 
         [0202]    (1) Materials and Methods 
         [0203]    Male Wistar rats with a weight of 180˜200 g were used. Normal anal temperature of each rat was measured twice (at a certain interval) with a WSC-411P portable digital thermometer, and a mean of the two measurement values was taken as a normal body temperature of the rat. Then, 300 rats with body temperature at 36.5˜38° C. were selected and randomly divided into 30 groups by weight: model groups (0.5% methyl cellulose), phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B that are divided into low, medium and high dose groups (2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg) respectively, phillyrin groups (13 mg/kg), phillygeninin groups (13 mg/kg), and positive drug paracetamol groups (100 mg/kg). Each group has 10 rates, and the test is repeated 3 times for each group. 10 mL/kg of 10% fresh  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  suspension was subcutaneously injected to the back of the rats of each group to induce fever. After administration of 10% fresh  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  suspension for 6.0 h, the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition and the paracetamol positive drug were administered by intragastric administration, and the same volume of 0.5% methyl cellulose is administrated to the model group by intragastric administration. Rectal temperatures were respectively measured at 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after the administration. Changes in the body temperature were observed and difference between the groups was compared by inter-group t test processing through antipyretic percentage. The above test was repeated totally 3 times.

         [0205]    Temperatures of rats in each group all increased about 1.5° C. after subcutaneous administration of 10% fresh  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  suspension for 6 h, and were significantly different from the temperatures before fever induction (p&lt;0.001). This indicated that the beer yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) induced fever model for rats was successfully established. Compared with the model group, significant hypothermia effects on rat fever induced by  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  (p&lt;0.05˜p&lt;0.001) were observed in the medium and high dose groups of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B at 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after administration, as well as the low dosage group at 2, 3 and 4 h after administration. Meanwhile, hypothermia effects of the groups with different doses of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B were extremely superior to the effects of the phillyrin and the phillygeninin (p&lt;0.0011 or p&lt;0.01), which indicated that the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions have obvious synergistic effects. See Table 2-7 for the above test results. 
         [0206]    2.4 Effects of the Phillyrin/Phillygeninin Compositions on Rabbit Fever Induced by Typhoid and Paratyphoid Vaccine 
         [0207]    (1) Materials and Methods 
         [0208]    Male Japanese big-ear white rabbits with a weight 1.5˜2.0 kg were used. Before the test, WSC-411P portable digital thermometer was used to measure the normal rectal temperature twice (with certain interval for each time), and the average value was taken as the normal body temperature of rabbits. Then, 198 rabbits with body temperature at 38˜39.6° C. were selected and randomly divided into 33 groups by weight: blank control groups (nortrol saline), model control groups (0.5% methyl cellulose), low, medium and high dose groups (1.25, 2.5, 5 mg/kg) of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B, phillyrin groups, phillygeninin groups, and paracetamol positive drug groups (50 mg/kg). Each group has 6 rabbits, and the test was repeated 3 times for each group. Rabbits were fixed into a fixator. The blank control group was intravenously injected with normal saline of 1 ml/kg via the ear margin; The model control group and each drug group were intravenously injected with typhoid and paratyphoid vaccines of 0.8 ml/kg via the ear margin. After the body temperatures of the rabbits increased by 1° C. or more (requiring about 1˜1.5 h, and this test was limited to 1 h), the blank control group and the model group were administered intragastrically with 0.5% carboxymethycellulose of 1 ml/kg, and the drug groups were administered intragastrically with phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions and paracetamol respectively. 
         [0209]    The rectal temperature was measured after administration for 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 min to observe the changes in the body temperature, and difference between the groups was compared by inter-group t test processing through antipyretic percentage.

         [0210]    After intravenous injection with the typhoid and paratyphoid vaccines via the ear margin of rabbits for 1 h, the body temperature rise was about 1° C., which indicated that the typhoid and paratyphoid vaccines could be used to prepare the rabbit fever model. Compared with the blank control group, the body temperatures of rabbits in the model group continuously increased during an observation period of 300 min (p&lt;0.05˜p&lt;0.001). Compared with the model group, the high, medium and low dose groups of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions A and B after administration for 30˜240 min, 60˜240 min and 90˜240 min had significant hypothermal effects on rabbit fever induced by typhoid and paratyphoid vaccine (p&lt;0.05˜p&lt;0.001), and their hypothermal effects were also significantly superior to the effects of the phillyrin group and the phillygeninin group (p&lt;0.01), which indicated that the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions have obvious synergistic effects. See Table 2-8 for the above result results. 
         [0211]    2.5 Effects of the Phillyrin/Phillygeninin Compositions on Rat Paw Swelling Induced by Carrageenin 
         [0212]    (1) Materials and Methods 
         [0213]    70 male Wistar rats with a weight of 120˜150 g were adopted and randomly divided into 7 groups by weight: a blank control group (0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), low, medium and high dose groups (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg) of the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition A, a phillyrin group, a phillygeninin group and an aspirin positive drug group (100 mg/kg). Each group has 10 rats. Rats in each group were all administered by subcutaneous injection through the sublingual vein. Normal volume of the right hind paw of each rat in each group was measured in capillary magnification measurement method. In order to avoid errors, the measurement should be carried out in a fixed position and operated by the same person before and after administration. A mean of the two measurement values was taken as the normal volume of the right hind paw of a rat before administration. After administration, rats were immediately subcutaneously injected with 0.1 ml of 1% carrageenin at the right hind paws to induce inflammation. Volumes of the right hind paws of rats at 15, 30, 60, 20, 180, 240, 300 and 360 min after inflammation induction were measured. The difference between the groups was compared by inter-group t test processing through the difference percentage (swelling ratio) of the paw volume before and after the induced rat inflammation.

         [0215]    Compared with the blank control group, the high dose group (10 mg/kg) of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions within 15˜360 min after administration, as well as the medium dose group (5 mg/kg) and the low dose group (2.5 mg/kg) of the phillyrin/phillygeninin compositions within 30˜360 min after administration had obvious inhibitory effects on rat paw swelling induced by carrageenan (p&lt;0.05 or p&lt;0.01), and their therapeutic effects were significantly better than the effects of the phillyrin group (10 mg/kg) and the phillygeninin group (10 mg/kg) (p&lt;0.05 or p&lt;0.01); moreover, the therapeutic effects of each dose group of the composition at 60 min and 240 min after administration were significantly better than the effects of the phillygeninin group (p&lt;0.01). The above test results indicated that the combined use of the phillyrin and the phillygeninin in the phillyrin/phillygeninin composition has an obvious synergistic effect (see Table 2-9 for details).
