Extracts (Flannelweed) — HDN presents new pharmacological data; some of it conflicts with
what I provide. For example, in HDN, vasicinone was reported as a bronchoconstrictor in vivo
and as a bronchodilator in vitro. HDN gives us the activities for L-ephedrine, while not specifically
naming it in the plant. Beta-phenylethylamine is the parent of many different sympathomimetic
phytochemicals. Well absorbed, it easily crosses the blood-brain barrier, decreasing amine content
in noradrenalin and dopamine-containing nerve terminals in the brain and in the peripheral
adrenergic nerve terminals of rats (HDN). Its amphetamine-like action can be blocked by
pretreatment with reserpine (HDN).
