The product prepared from bombyx mori and beauveria bassiana with the microbial fermentation technology is effective in health enhancement and treatment support of prostatic hypertrophy, gastritis, ulcerative colitis, etc. In this study, the subchronic toxicity of this product have been evaluated on experimental rabbit. The results show that, the product don’t affect the normal weight increment of rabbit and don’t change the indices of haematology, biochemistry, and anapathology between control group and test group.

Phytoecdysteroids are secondary metabolites which were found in many plant species. In mammals, including humans, phytoecdysteroids don’t have hormonal activity, low toxicity and are proven to have many pharmacological effects. 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) is one of the most common phytoecdysteroids which was detected in plants. In this study, 20E was detected in some plants of Vitex and Sida genera of the Nam Cat Tien national park. HPLC method was used for determining 20E. 3,44% was the highest concentration of 20E picked out from young Vitex tripinnata leaves. Vitex canescens and Vitex tripinnata were considered as potential plants for producing ecdysteroid-containing drugs.
