Abstract: Objective To study the effect of Flos Lonicerae Japonicae on pruritus induced by various pruritic agents including compound 48/80, histamine and substance P in mice. Methods Flos Lonicerae Japonicae extracts(0.3 g/kg, 0.8 g/kg and 2.4 g/kg) were respectively administered orally to ICR mice 1 h before the injection of compound 48/80, histamine and substance P. Immediately after the injection of pruritogens, the animals were put into the acrylic cage again, and their behaviors were videotaped. Results Flos Lonicerae Japonicae dose-dependently inhibited substance P-induced scratching. However, no inhibitory effect was observed on the scratching behavior induced by histamine or compound 48/80. Conclusion Flos Lonicerae Japonicae shows significant antipruritic effect on substance P-induced pruritus in ICR mice. The primary site of its antipruritic activity is epidermal keratinocytes rather than mast cells.
