✦ Synopsis


To investigate the effect of antipruritic agents, we developed an animal model to allow quantitative estimation of itching. Dextran T40 and compound 48/80, agents which cause histamine release, significantly induced scratching behaviour in mice. A 35% ethanol extract (IB) of white petals of Impatiens balsamina L. significantly inhibited the scratching behaviour in this model. Kaempferol, quercetin and 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives in IB were demonstrated to show antipruritic effects.
