Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of extract Asarum sieboldii(AS) on the peritoneal macrophage. Methods : To evaluate of anti-inflammatory of AS, we examined cytokines production in lipopolysacchride (LPS)-induced macrophages. Furthermore, we checked molecular mechanism using western blot. Results : 1. Extract from AS reduced LPS-induced Nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-12 production in peritoneal macrophages 2. Extract from AS itself does not have any cytotoxic effect. AS inhibited the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) such as p38, extracelluar signal-regulated kinase B a (IkBa) in the LPS-stimulated peritoneal macrophages Conclusion : AS down-regulated LPS-induced NO and cytokines production, which could provide a clinical basis for anti-inflammatory properties of AS
