Abstract

Acyranthes bidentata has been used as anti-arrthritic, aphrodisiac, anti-viral, anti-spasmodic, anti-hypertensive, anti-coagulant and anti-tumor agent. In this study, we evaluated anti-inflammatory effect of polysaccharide extract from Acyranthes bidentata. Acyranthes bidentata polysaccaride decreased $IL-1{\alpha}$, IL-6, COX-2, and total NO synthesis. Our results point to the potential use of Acyranthes bidentata polysaccaride as a cosmeceutical agent for inflammatory cutaneous symptoms.

우슬(Acyranthes bidentata)은 항관절염(anti-arrthritic), 최음(aphrodisiac), 항바이러스(anti-viral), 항경련(anti-spasmodic), 항고혈압(anti-hypertensive), 항응고(anti-coagulant) 그리고 항암(anti-tumor)효과에 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구는 우슬 추출물로부터 분리한 다당 추출물의 화장품 원료로서의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 항염 효과와 관련된 다양한 실험을 실시하였다. 우슬 다당 추출물을 대상으로 실험한 결과 항염($IL-1{\alpha}$, IL-6, COX-2 그리고 total NO 생성 억제) 효과를 나타내었다.
