姜黄(Curcuma aromatica Salisb)系姜科植物,多年生草本。我们发现姜黄有明显的终止动物妊娠作用。实验用市售片姜黄,制成100%(生药1g/ml)和200%水煎剂。实验动物用成年雌性小鼠和家兔。小鼠在妊娠早期(6～7天)、中期(10～14天)和晚期(16～18天)分别腹腔或皮下注射姜黄水煎剂10g/kg,每日一次,连续2天。早、中期妊娠小鼠在给药一次 Curcuma aromatica Salisb is a ginger plant and is a perennial herb. We found that turmeric has a significant effect in stopping the pregnancy in animals. For the experiment, commercially available turmeric was used to make 100% (1g/ml crude drug) and 200% water decoction. Experimental animals used adult female mice and rabbits. Mice in the early (6 to 7 days), middle (10 to 14 days) and late (16 to 18 days) of the gestation period received intraperitoneal or subcutaneous injection of 10g/kg turmeric decoction once daily for 2 days. Early and mid-pregnancy mice are given once
