We have studied some effects of the SOYANGIN-HYEONGBANGPAEDOK-SAN (S.H.P.). Several empirical remarks, depending on the different treatments, are investigated through this study as follow; 1. The Analgesic effects of S.H.P. are remarked by Acetic acid method in mice, 100 and 300mg/kg (Sample II, III), 2. The Antipyretic effect of S.H.P. are remarked by yeast method in rats, 100 and 300mg/kg (Sample II, III). 3. The inhibitory effects of S.H.P. on strychnine induced convulsion in mice is remarked. However the inhibitory effects of S.H.P. on picrotoxin induced convulsion in mice is not observed. 4. The effects of S.H.P. on muscle relaxation in mice, using the Rota-Rod test, is remarked on 1,2,3 hours by 300mg/kg (Sample III).

We have studied some effects of the SOEUMIN-HYANGSAYANGYUI-TANG (S.H.Y.) on the C.N.S. and on the intestines. Several empirical remarks, depending on the different treatments, are investigated throughout this study as follows; 1) The treatment, using atropine bromide, represses the effect of the S.H.Y. on the contractive force of intestines. 2) The treatment, using pheniramine maleate, seems not be able to repress the effect of the S.H.Y. on the contractive force of intestines. 3) The treatment, using cyproheptadine, seems not be able to repress the effect of the S.H.Y. on the contractive force of intestines. 4) The analgesic effect as well as the antipyretic effect are remarked while the acetic acid is applied. 5) The suppressive action on the convulsion, induced by strychine, is not observed. However the significant effect on the convulsion induced by picrotoxin is remarked. 6) The sedactive effect of the S.H.Y., using the Rotor rod test, is not obviously observed.

In order to investigate experimentally the clinical effects of Soeuminsohaphyangwon that was prescribed to cure the Wisunanrihanbyung of Soeum-In, the author experimented various activities of mixed extract from the Soeuminsohaphyangwon by the method prescribed in the experimental part. The results of the studies were summerized as follows : 1. Suppressive action was not shown on the convulsion induced by strychnine but significant effect was noted on the convulsion induced by picrotoxin and caffeine. 2. In acetic acid method experiment analgesic effect was noted. 3. A prolongation of anesthetic time by Pentobarbital sodium and antipyretic effect was observed. 4. Relaxing action was noted on the ileums of mice, also same effect was recognized on contraction of the ileums due to acetylcholine, barium chloride and histamine 2 HCl. 5. The expansion of blood vessels by relaxation of smooth muscle and fall of blood pressure were noted. According to the above results, effects based on oriental medical references were approximate to the actual experimental results.

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2). Currently, the management of patients with COVID-19 depends mainly on repurposed drugs which include chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir, ribavirin, remdesivir, favipiravir, umifenovir, interferon-α, interferon-β and others. In this review, the potential of Nigella sativa (black cumin seeds) to treat the patients with COVID-19 analyzed, as it has shown to possess antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, immunomodulatory, bronchodilatory, antihistaminic, antitussive, antipyretic and analgesic activities. Medline/PubMed Central/PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Directory of open access journals (DOAJ) and reference lists were searched to identify articles associated with antiviral and other properties of N.sativa related to the signs and symptoms of COVID-19. Various randomized controlled trials, pilot studies, case reports and in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that N.sativa has antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, bronchodilatory, antihistaminic, antitussive activities related to causative oraganism and signs and symptoms of COVID-19. N. sativa could be used as an adjuvant therapy along with repurposed conventional drugs to manage the patients with COVID-19.

Pharmacological activities of Paeoniae Radix alba were studied with water extract (F-I), parched preparation (F-II) and 25% ethanol-treated preparation (F-III) of it. The results were summerized as follows; 1) Analgesic actions were recognized with F-I, F-II and F-III. 2) Sedative actions were recognized with F-I and F-III. 3) Prolonged effect of sleeping time were recognized significantly with F-I and F-III. 4) Antipyretic actions were recognized with F-1, F-II and F-III in rabbits. 5) F-I, F-II and F-III showed the antagonic action against contraction of isolated-ileum induced by acetylcholine, barium chloride and histamine in mice and guinea-pigs.

In order to investigate the pharmacological action of combined preparation of crude drugs, 'Whangryonhaedok-Tang' were studied. Pharmacological studies of the water extract, methanol insoluble fraction and methanol soluble fraction obtained from 'Whangryonhaedok-Tang' were conducted. The results of this investigation were summarized as follows; Central convulsions induced by strychnine, picrotoxine and caffeine were depressed in mice. Analgesic effect was observed in mice and rats. Antipyretic effect was observed in rats and rabbits. Sedative effect was observed.

It has antitubercular, antipyretic, analgesic and stomachic properties, also used to remove bad breath from mouth, strengthen the gums but its main action is as a tranquillizer and nervine relaxant, it is greatly esteemed for its calming properties. Preliminary performed phytochemical analysis revealed that tannin, flavonoid and saponins are the major components of the plant extract. The plants containing saponins or flavonoids exhibit anticonvulsant activity whereas the flavonoids show various biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic-antitumor etc. Keeping in view the tremendous medicinal importance of the plant Badranjboya in Unani Medicine, this review provides updated information on its phytochemistry, therapeutic uses and pharmacological properties.

Hepatitis refers to inflammation of hepatocytes and liver tissue, and is mainly caused by viruses, alcohol, and drugs. Forsythiae Fructus has traditionally been used as a diuretic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic. Research on rengyolone, a bioactive substance extracted from Forsythiae Fructus, is rarely found in Korea and abroad. First, an acute animal toxicity test for rengyolone was conducted for the animal experiment. 4 week-old SD rats were injected intraperitoneally with acetaminophen for 2 weeks to induce chronic liver inflammation. Rengyolone was orally administered into two groups during 4 weeks: pre-inflammatory group and post-inflammatory group. Oral doses were also divided into 1 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg. Liver function tests (ALT, AST, ALP), western blot analysis of liver tissue, and level of inflammatory cytokine were performed to evaluate the improvement of hepatitis. Experimental results showed that rengyolone inhibited the development of acute inflammation and thus could reduce hepatitis symptoms.
