Abstract

181 kinds of local native plants were selected by its anti-inflammatorial folk medicinal uses and evaluated it antioxidative and inhibitory activity of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced 264.7 macrophage cells. Among the 181 kinds of plants, 99 species showed potent antioxidative activities and 20 extracts showed inhibitory activity towards nitric oxide production by more than 70% at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/mL$. Therefore, these plants should be considered promising candidates for the treatment of inflammatory diseases accompanying overproduction of NO.
