The main active ingredient of honeysuckle extract, chlorogenic acid, has the pharmacological efficacy of anti-viral, immune system improvement and blood lipid lowering. Honeysuckle extract is gradually used in the fields of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, cosmetics, health food, health drinks, etc. The prospects are very broad.
Its effect is reflected in the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Honeysuckle stems, leaves, flowers in the main component of chlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid in the clinical role of antibacterial anti-inflammatory. Modern medical research has proved that honeysuckle for streptococcus, staphylococcus, typhoid bacillus, dysentery bacillus, colorectal and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pneumonia bacillus, pertussis bacillus, meningococcus, etc., have strong antibacterial power, for the treatment of influenza and inflammation have a certain effect.
1. Antibacterial and enhance the role of immune function: tests have shown that honeysuckle has an inhibitory effect on S. typhi, S. paratyphi, E. coli, S. pyogenes, P. aeruginosa, S. pertussis, Vibrio cholerae, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Diplococcus pneumoniae, Meningococcus, etc.
2. Inhibition of drug-resistant bacteria protein synthesis: honeysuckle extract has a significant stimulating effect on the respiration of drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, mostly used for medical and surgical inflammation caused by drug-resistant strains, such as the treatment of tuberculosis complicating respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, acute bacterial dysentery, diarrhea. It is also used to reduce the rate of pharyngeal carriage.
3. Anti-allergic
Lonicera japonica aqueous extract has been tested by hyaluronidase in vitro inhibition test and its inhibition rate of hyaluronic acid reached 69.54%, which has good anti-allergic property and is suitable for use in anti-allergic cosmetics. Moreover, the hemolysis rate of Lonicera japonica extract in red blood cell hemolysis test is less than 20%, which indicates that it is less irritating to human skin and can be used in cosmetics to reduce the irritation of chemical preservatives to the skin.
