An effective separation and simultaneous determination of corynoxeine and its metabolites using high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated. The method was applied to pharmacokinetics and in vivo distribution investigations in rats after oral (0.105 mmol kg−1) and intravenous (0.0105 mmol kg−1) doses of corynoxeine. Its brain uptake index was of 3.08 × 10−11 mol g−1 at 3 h and 3.75 × 10−11 mol g−1 at 74 min after oral and intravenous doses, respectively.

Recently, we showed that a methanol extract of Ganoderma lucidum inhibits scratching, an itch-related response, induced by intradermal injections of some pruritogens in mice. The present study investigated whether G. lucidum extract would inhibit allergic itch. In mice sensitized with an extract of salivary gland of mosquito (ESGM), an intradermal injection of ESGM elicited scratching, which was suppressed by oral administration of G. lucidum extract (100 and 300 mg/kg). The scratching was inhibited by the H1 histamine–receptor antagonist azelastine, but not by the peripherally acting H1-antagonist terfenadine, at the oral dose of 30 mg/kg. In sensitized mice, ESGM increased the activity of cutaneous nerve, which was suppressed by G. lucidum extract (300 mg/kg). Although terfenadine (30 mg/kg) inhibited plasma extravasation induced by ESGM in the sensitized mice, G. lucidum extract (300 mg/kg) was without effect. These results suggest that G. lucidum extract relieves allergic itch through a peripheral action. The results support the idea that mast cells and H1 histamine receptors are not the primary sites of the antipruritic action of G. lucidum extract.

In this study, the antipruritic effect of the methanol extract of Ganoderma lucidum (MEGL) was studied in mice. Oral administration of MEGL (10—1000 mg/kg) produced a dose-dependent inhibition of scratching, an itch-related response, induced by intradermal 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) (100 nmol/site), α-methyl-5-HT (100 nmol/site), and proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR2)-activating peptide SLIGRL-NH2 (50 nmol/site). However, MEGL (100—1000 mg/kg) did not inhibit the scratching induced by histamine (100 nmol/site), substance P (100 nmol/site), and compound 48/80 (10 μg/site). These results raise the possibility that MEGL is effective against pruritus mediated by proteinases and 5-HT and that primary afferents expressing PAR2 and 5-HT2A receptors are the sites of its action.
