Abstract
Mao-to, a Chinese herbal medicinal prescription was studied for the inhibitory activity of adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase. The inhibitory activity for this enzyme depended mainly on Ephedra herb and Glycyrrhiza in this prescription. Apricot kennel acted as a mitigatory component for Ephedra herb in cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitory test. In ephedrine and the related compounds the inhibitory activity of cAMP phosphodiesterase was not shown.
