1. Diuretic and detumescence: lingsu is a new aldosterone receptor antagonist, which is conducive to urine excretion, recovery of renal function and elimination of protein.
2. Effects on digestive system: triterpenoids from Poria cocos enhance the differentiation inducing activity of insulin, and triterpenoids themselves also have differentiation inducing activity. Poria cocos triterpenoids and their derivatives can inhibit vomiting induced by oral administration of copper sulfate in frogs.
3. Prevention of calculus: Poria cocos polysaccharide can effectively inhibit the formation and deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidney of rats, which has a good anti calculus effect.
4. Anti rejection: the extract of Poria cocos has obvious inhibitory effect on acute rejection of heterotopic heart transplantation in rats.
5. Antibacterial and antiviral effects: 100% Poria cocos extract filter paper can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus albus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus anthracis, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus A and Streptococcus B.
6. Anticonvulsant effect: the total triterpenoids of Poria cocos can resist the maximum electric shock and pentylenetetrazole convulsion in different degrees, which proves that the total triterpenoids of Poria cocos have obvious anticonvulsant effect.
7. Anti inflammatory effect: total triterpenoids of Poria cocos have inhibitory effect on xylene induced acute inflammation in mice, such as auricle swelling and peritoneal capillary permeability in mice, and have strong inhibitory effect on subacute inflammation of cotton ball granuloma in rats, indicating that total triterpenoids of Poria cocos are one of the main effective parts of anti-inflammatory effect of Poria cocos, The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of phospholipase A2 activity by triterpenoids.
8. Whitening effect: white Poria cocos has a significant inhibitory effect on tyrosinase, and it is a competitive inhibition. Reducing melanin production by inhibiting tyrosinase activity may be one of the mechanisms of whitening traditional Chinese medicine.
