摘要 [Objectives] To explore the pharmacodynamic effect of the Castanopsis sclerophylla (Lindl) Schottk fruit on diarrhea model mice. [Methods] The anti-diarrheal efficacy of the C. sclerophylla fruit was evaluated using a castor oil-induced acute diarrhea model in mice and the small intestinal charcoal propulsion test, with assessment of onset time of diarrhea, frequency of loose stools, and small intestinal propulsion rate. [Results] Compared with the model group, the C. sclerophylla frui-treated group demonstrated significantly delayed onset of diarrhea, reduced frequency of loose stools, and decreased small intestinal charcoal propulsion rate in a dose-dependent manner, with the high-dose group achieving efficacy comparable to the loperamide-treated group. [Conclusions] The C. sclerophylla fruit has certain anti-diarrhea effect, and its anti-diarrhea mechanism may be related to the inhibition of small intestinal peristalsis.
