Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the analgesic effect of ethanol extract from the seselopsis to the primary dysmenorrhea induced
by oxytocin in mice. Methods: A dysmenorrhea model combining diethylstilbestrol and oxytocin was used to observe the effect of
different concentrations of seselopsis ethanol extract and aspirin. About 1 h after the last medication, the uterine homogenate was
prepared, and the content of SOD activity, MDA, NO and Ca2 + were determined. Results: The ethanol extract from seselopsis could
significantly reduce the writhing response induced by oxytocin, which could significantly improve the activity of SOD, decrease the
content of MDA, increase NO and decrease the content of Ca2+(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: The ethanol extract of seselopsis
has obvious analgesic effect on primary dysmenorrhea in mice.
