The toxic side effects of motherwort paste are very low. The LD50 of Leonurus granules injection was given intravenously to mice, and the LD50 was 30-60 g/kg. The LD50 of Leonurus granules total alkali was given intravenously to mice, and the LD50 was 572.2±37.2 mg/kg. Leonurus alkaloids were injected into the abdomen of rats, 2 mg each time, for 4 days, with no significant side effects.

2. Effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. A certain amount of motherwort extract has the effect of enhancing the contraction of paraffin-sectioned frog hearts, but when used in large doses, inhibition will occur. This inhibition may be caused by the excitation of sympathetic nerve endings. When frog blood vessels are perfused with motherwort paste, vasoconstriction occurs, and the degree of vasoconstriction is proportional to the concentration of the commonly used standard solution. Therefore, it can be inferred that the blood pressure reducing effect of motherwort alkaloids is not mediated by the sympathetic nerve center, but may be induced by the excitation of the sympathetic nerve endings.

Motherwort granule decoction, ethanol extract and ingredients containing leonurine have stimulating effects on the uterus of various animals such as rabbits, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, etc. The decoction of motherwort granules was administered to the isolated uterus of rabbits, and it showed a stimulating effect regardless of whether it was a non-pregnant, early-pregnant, late-pregnant or postpartum uterus. For the active uterus, after rapid intravenous injection, the stimulating effect appeared 30 minutes later, and its compressive strength and duration of action increased with the increase of dosage. In the rabbit uterine impotence experiment, the decoction of Leonurus granules was used. When the uterus was pressurized or not, the uterus showed obvious stimulation effect 15-20 minutes after the administration of the drug. The total alkali in Leonurus granules has a stimulating effect on the paraffin-sectioned uterus of guinea pigs, and its effect is similar to that of ergonovine.
