1. The ethanol extract Toddalia asiatica has a good antibacterial action on candida albicans, which may be related to inhibiting expression of SNF2 and PDE2[1]. 2. Toddalia asiatica polysaccharides has strong antioxidant properties and possessed a clear scavenging effect to ·OH and DPPH·[2]. 3. The ethanol extract of Toddalia asiatica could alleviate the auricle swelling of mice induced by dimethylbenzene and decrease the torsion times of mice caused by glacial acetic acid, which show that Toddalia asiatica has certain effects on anti-inflammatory and analgesia [1]. 4. The ethnol extracts of Toddalia asiatica has remarkable antibacterial effect on Bacillus subtilis, Shigella dysenteriae and saccharomyces cerevisiae[4]. 5. The ethanol extract of Toddalia asiatica shows potent antiviral activities against H1N1 virus[5]. |
