摘要
The aqueous extract of Tilia cordata flowers showed in vitro stimulatory effects on lymphocyte proliferation (maximum stimulatory concentration: 20 mu g/ml). This effect was mimicked by Ro 5-4864, an agonist of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor, and by Pk 11195, an agonist/antagonist of the same receptor. These results suggest that Tilia extract could exert its stimulatory effect acting as an agonist of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
