  • As apart of our continuing search for antistroke agents from the herbal medicinal resources, we examined in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo the possibility of Sunghyangjunggisan and its ingradients as a novel antithrombotic agent. In vitro ADP- and collagen-induced rat platelet aggregations were potently inhibited by Arisaematis Rhizoma, Cinnamomi Cortex and Zingiberis Rhizoma in a dose-dependent manner, but not by Sunghyangjunggisan. However, Sunghyangjunggisan significantly inhibited ex vivo rat platelet aggregation. Arisaematis Rhizoma, Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba, and Pinelliae Rhizoma also significantly inhibited ex vivo rat platelet aggregation. Sunghyangjunggisan, Alpiniae Fructus and Zingiberis Rhizoma showed significant protection from death due to pulmonary thrombosis in mice. Therefore, Sunghyangjunggisan can express the antithrombotic action, when it is orally administered.

  • The possibility of Chungpesagantang, Sunghyangjunggisan and Yangkyuksanwhatang, which have been recommended for stroke patients with constipation in traditional Korean clinics, was evaluated as a novel antithrombotic agent. Chungpesagantang potently inhibited ADP- and collagen-induced rat platelet aggregation in vitro, but Sunghyangjunggisan and Yangkyuksanwhatang did not inhibit it. However, all tested herbal formulae inhibited in vivo ADP- and collagen-induced rat platelet aggregation and extended the bleeding time of mice tails. All these herbal formulae did not affect certain plasma clotting times such as APTT, PT and TT. Among these herbal formulae, Chungpesagantang showed significant protection against death due to pulmonary thrombosis in mice. Based on these findings, these herbal formulae should prevent thrombosis and cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infraction stroke, and arteriosclerosis.

  • Objectives: Sunghyangjunggisan (SHJS) is a commonly prescribed drug with a wide neuropharmacological spectrum. The water extracts of SHJS were found to be protective against neurotoxicity elicited by deprivation of serum and glucose. Methods: The morphological examination and Hoechst staining of nucleus also clearly showed that the extracts attenuated the cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing, representing typical neuronal apoptotic phenomena and nucleosome-sized fragmentation under the microscope in PC 12 rat pheochromocytoma cells. Results: Activation of protein kinase A (PKA) with dibutyl-cAMP and forskolin also protected during glucose deprivation, although it was not additive with the effect provided by phorbol ester. Interestingly, treatment with the protein kinase A inhibitor, KT5720, was not neuroprotective in the presence of SHJS. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays were used to characterize the neuroprotective binding of nuclear proteins to consensus sequences for AP-l, nuclear factor kappa B ($NF-{\kappa}B$) after glucose deprivation. When PC 12 cells are induced to undergo apoptosis by serum deprivation, AP-l and $NF-{\kappa}B$ DNA binding activity transiently increases to a slight degree. This stimulation is blocked by the water extracts of SHJS. The site of action of the drugs appeared to involve specific inhibition of AP-1 and nuclear factor kB binding activity. Conclusions: Taken together, these results suggested the possibility that the extracts of SHJS might provide a neurotrophic-like activity in PC 12 cells.

  • One of my administrational patient had the disease of liver cirrhosis with cerebrovascular hemorrhage simultaneously. so we investigated the process of cureness in detail. In the investigational method, at the day of onset the patient was administered the sunghyangjunggisan(星香正氣散) for 4 days. hyelbuchugatanggamibang(血府逐瘀湯加味方) for 7 days, the day after saengganggunbitang(生肝建脾湯) and the extracts of Artemisia capillaris(茵蔯), Alisma plantago(澤瀉) were took for 17 days. So we searched the attentioanable results in the Biochemistry. Brain CT, Sonogram. Abdominal CT, and the decrease of self symptom. In the results we recognized that the patient was improved in the LFT, the smaller portal vein, the resolving of hemorrhage, the decrease of self symptom etc.
