  • Published : 2003.04.01

Abstract

To evaluate the antiallergic activities of puerarin and daidzin from the rhizome of Pueraria lobata, in vitro and in vivo inhibitory activities of these compounds and their metabolite daidzein were measured. Daidzein exhibited potent inhibitory activity on the B-hexosaminidase release induced by DNP-HSA and potently inhibited the PCA reaction in mice. (omitted)
