To evaluate the antipyretic effect of Binafuxi Granules on dry yeast-induced fever model in rats and further explore its antipyretic mechanism, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of Binafuxi Granules.
The rat fever model induced by dry yeast was established, and the antipyretic mechanism of Binafuxi Granules on fungal fever rats was investigated by rat anal temperature measurement, ELISA detection, qPCR detection, and Western blot detection.
The dry yeast-induced fever model experiment showed that compared with the model group, the rectal temperature of rats in each administration group of Binafuxi Granules decreased significantly in a continuous period of time (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the contents of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in serum and the contents of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in hypothalamus were significantly decreased in each administration group (P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), nuclear factor κB p65 (NF-κB p65) and other immune and inflammatory response-related genes in the hypothalamus of rats were significantly inhibited (P<0.05). The expression levels of immune and inflammatory response-related proteins TLR4 and p-NF-κBP65 in the hypothalamus of model rats were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05).
Binafuxi Granules may inhibit the production of heat-causing inflammatory factors by regulating TLR4/NF-кB signaling pathway and exert antipyretic effect.
