摘要:Although Albizzia falcataria and Cryptomeria japonica were not mutually distinguishable in shape under an optical microscope, only the powder of the former exhibited intense eye irritation in rabbits. Methanol extract of the powder of Albizzia falcataria also exhibited eye irritation, whereas no eye irritation was observed with its extract residue. The methanol extract was also intensely hemolytic, but showed no significant effects in a single oral administration to mice and in a mutagenecity test using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100.
