为探究1,8-桉叶素驱蚊及其治疗局部皮肤过敏性瘙痒的效果,通过“Y”型嗅觉仪法测试了其在不同剂量梯度下对白纹伊蚊的驱避活性,采用4-氨基吡啶(4-AP)致小鼠瘙痒模型探讨了1,8-桉叶素(φ=5%,用橄榄油稀释)的止痒作用。结果表明,当1,8-桉叶素剂量为4.0 μL时,其在前4 min内对白纹伊蚊可达到100%的驱避率,且其对白纹伊蚊的驱避效果呈剂量依赖性增加;通过4-AP致小鼠瘙痒模型发现,与模型组相比,1,8-桉叶素组小鼠在10 min内的舔体次数显著减少,小鼠皮肤滤液中组胺与血清中白细胞介素31(IL-31)、血小板活化因子(PAF)、5-羟色胺(5-HT)含量均显著降低,病理切片显示1,8-桉叶素组小鼠皮肤未见水肿,同时炎细胞浸润减少。结论当1,8-桉叶素浓度达到一定值时,其对白纹伊蚊具有很好的驱避效果;且1,8-桉叶素具有显著的止痒效果,其发挥止痒作用与拮抗IL-31、PAF、5-HT、瘙痒介质组胺的释放有关。
To explore the mosquito repellent effect and the therapeutic properties of allergic skin itching of 1, 8-cineole, the repellent activity of 1, 8-cineole against Aedes albopictus under different doses was studied by the Y-tube olfactory test. The antipruritic effect of 1, 8-cineole (φ=5%, prepared with olive oil) was studied in an animal model of mice skin scratching response induced by 4-aminopyridine(4-AP). The results show that 1, 8-cineole at the dose of 4.0 μL repels 100% of A. albopictus in the initial 4 minutes and the repellent effect of 1, 8-cineole against A. albopictus increases in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, mice experiments show that the scratching frequency of mice treated with 1, 8-cineole reduces significantly within 10 minutes; and the contents of serum interleukin 31 (IL-31), platelet activating factor (PAF), serotonin (5-HT) and histamine in the skin filtrate of mice treated with 1, 8-cineole are significantly reduced compared with the model group. The pathological sections show that no edema in the skin of mice in the 1, 8-cineole group is observed and the infiltration of inflammatory cells is inhibited. In conclusion, when the concentration of 1, 8-cineole reaches a certain value, it shows obvious repellent effect on A. albopictus. 1, 8-cineole also has a significant antipruritic effect through the mechanism of antagonizing the release of IL-31, PAF, 5-HT, as well as the mediator of itching, histamine.
