Aim: The research was to study the effect of Motherwort total alkaloids on the prostate hyperplasia mice model of pathological changes of related tissue morphology. Results: Compared with the model group(MG), Motherwort total alkaloid high, medium dose group(HD, MD) could significantly reduced the pathological changes of the prostate (P < 0.01); Finasteride(FG) and Motherwort total alkaloid low dose group(LD) could significantly reduce the pathological changes of the prostate (P < 0.05); Longbishu capsules(LG), Finasteride, Motherwort total alkaloid medium dose group could significantly reduce the pathological changes of the kidney (P < 0.01); Motherwort total alkaloid low dose group could significantly reduce the pathological changes of the kidney (P < 0.05); Motherwort total alkaloids could improve the pathological changes of the thymus and spleen. Conclusion: Motherwort total alkaloid can improve the pathological changes of prostatic hyperplasia in mice.
