The leaf of  Elaeagnus lanceolata  and  Elaeagnus henryi  as well as  Elaeagnus pungens  has been documented as an effective herb for the treatment of asthma and chronic bronchitis in traditional clinical medicine. This study was aimed at evaluating the antiasthmatic, antitussive, and expectorant activities of the water extracts from the three plants  in vivo  and analyzing their chemical components by HPLC-DAD. At the medium and high doses, the water extracts of three  Elaeagnus  leaves significantly prolonged the preconvulsive time ( P  < 0.01) in guinea pigs, lengthened the latent period of cough ( P  < 0.01) and decreased the cough frequency caused by aqueous ammonia in mice ( P  < 0.01), and enhanced tracheal phenol red output in mice ( P  < 0.01). There were no significant differences in the pharmacological actions between the three  Elaeagnus  leaves. Moreover, there was more similarity on overlap peaks in the range of retention time from 10 to 40 min by HPLC and many peaks that belonged to flavonoids compounds. It suggested that the main constituents of the three  Elaeagnus  leaves were flavonoid for the pharmacological activities. These effects were the important evidence for the traditional use of  E. henryi  leaf and  E. lanceolata  leaf as well as  E. pungens  to treat asthma and chronic bronchitis.
