Abstract

Puerariae Flos have developed into one of the improved selling herbal medicines for healing of diseases such as alcohol intoxication and liver injury in China and Japan. Herbal medicines with the multi-targeted and less toxic characteristic have fascinated more attention in the prevention of Alcoholic liver disease ALD. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of tectorigenin on chemically induced liver fibrosis in rats, Chinese medicine is considered to be an imperative and substitute approach. Tectoridin, naturally extracted from pueraria thunbergiana flos, is commercially acclaimed for its anti-alcoholism function. Furthermore, it was analyzed the effects of tectoridin on sobering the rats up, and to explore the mechanisms of tectoridin from Pueraria thunbergiana Flos sobering the roots up by decreasing the alcohol content, ADH activity in a rat model and the best anti-alcoholism properties among tectoridin, tectorigenin and tectorigenin sodium sulfonate. Acute alcohol poisoning experiment models of rats were set up to evaluate the blood alcohol content in blood and ADH activity in liver. Results showed that tectoridin demonstrated the anti-alcoholism property and a dose of 75mg·kg^-1·bw tectoridin showed the strongest clearance rate of ethanol. The comparison of the anti-alcoholism capacity were as follows: tectorigenin sodium sulfonate (52.86%) was better than tectoridin (47.31%) (P < 0.01) and tectoridin was better than tectorigenin (43.67%) (P < 0.01).
