ABSTRACT

1. Objectives 4 herbal formulas (Yanggyeoksanhwa-tang, Yeoldahanso-tang, Cheongsimyeonja-tang and Taeeumjowi-tang) were applied to investigate the anti-inflammatory activities. In many studies, plant-derived anti-inflammatory efficacies have been investigate for their potential inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages. This study was performed to examine the anti-inflammatory activities of 4 herbal formulas on LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. 2. Methods The productions of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin (PG)E2, interleukin(IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were examined in the presence of the 4 herbal formulas in RAW 264.7 cells. The cells were incubated with LPS 1 μg/mL and 4 herbal formulas for 18 hrs. The anti-inflammatory activity of 4 herbal formulas were investigate by carrageenin-induced paw edema in rats. The paw volume was measured at 2 and 4 hrs following carrageenin- induced paw edema in rats. 3. Results Yanggyeoksanhwa-tang and Cheongsimyeonja-tang showed inhibitory effect on PGE2 production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and a reduction in carrageenin-induced paw edema on rats. Yanggyeoksanhwa-tang showed inhibi- tory effect on IL-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. 4 herbal formulas not affect on NO and TNF-α inhibition in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. 4. Conclusions These results suggested that Yanggyeoksanhwa-tang and Cheongsimyeonja-tang have anti-inflammatory activity.
