Biochemical Studies on Sclerotinia Libertiana

Part 3. (I) Uterus-Contracting Constituent. (iii)

Abstract

Pharmacological study on the extrats of mycelial mass formed by the culture of Sclerotinia Libertiana was performed at Pharmacological, Institute of Medical Faculty, , Kyushu University, and it was found that uterus-contracting action of the extract against rabbit uterus, both in situ and isolated, is comparable to “gynergen”.
An antagonistic substance against adrenaline disappeared in a process of preparation of the extract.
Clinical application performed at Obstetrical Institute of Medical Faculty, Kyushu University, showed good results, with only small side reactions.
