Abstract

In order to examine the anti-ohyul (anti-inflammatory) activity of rhubarb, we investigated the effects of stilbene derivatives obtained from rhizomes of Rheum undulatum on the carrageenan-induced hind paw edema in rats. Administration of stilbene aglycon (rhapontigenin) at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg exhibited the anti- edema effect in dose dependent manner and stilbene glycosides $(rhaponticin,\;piceatannol-3'-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside)$ at a dose of 100 mg/kg also showed inhibitory effect on the carrageenan-induced edema. These inhibitory effects may ascribed, at least in part, to the anti-ohyul activity of rhubarb.
