Therapeutic Effects
1. Anti-arthritic effect: Oral administration of the decoction or ethanolic extract at 10 g/kg significantly inhibits ankle-joint inflammation in rats. Administration at 5 g/kg once daily for 5 consecutive days also shows some inhibitory effect on formaldehyde-induced arthritis. 2. Anti-hepatitis B virus effect: In vitro studies show that an aqueous extract of Baimage root, at concentrations of 12.5–100 mg/mL, inhibits secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg from hepatitis B virus DNA-transfected 2.2.15 cells.
