pharmacological action

1. Diuretic effect of lettuce seed volatile oil 0.2% aqueous solution, dose 0.1mg/10g, 0.5mg/10g intraperitoneal injection, mouse metabolic cage method, the results show that Hai volatile oil has a very significant diuretic effect, and there is a certain dose-effect relationship [ 1].

2. Antiarrhythmic effect The total flavonoids of lettuce seeds can obviously resist the magnitude and duration of S-T segment shift. The total flavonoids of lettuce seeds can prolong the hypoxia tolerance time of mice. After injecting vasopressin into rabbits, 6/9 had arrhythmia, while the total flavonoids of lettuce seeds could reduce the incidence of salad arrhythmia to 1/9, and the duration of arrhythmia was significantly shorter. Total flavonoids can also significantly reduce chloroform-induced ventricular fibrillation. Experiments show that the total flavonoids of lettuce seeds have a significant antagonistic effect on these experimental arrhythmias [2].

3. Toxicity Mice were injected with 0.2% volatile oil, aqueous solution to a dose of 1ml/20g through the tail vein, 10 mice did not die, and the median lethal dose was not measured [1].
