초록

During the screening program to discover antiatopic agents from herbal formulas, we investigated the inhibitory effect of Hwangryunhaedoktang (HT) on passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and oxazolone-induced mouse ear dermatitis. HT significantly inhibited PCA reaction in mice at doses of 50 and 200 mg/kg with inhibitory activity of 31 and 53%, respectively. HT at concentration of 0.05 and 0.1% inhibited ear swelling by 23 and 46% at 16 days in oxazolone-induced mouse ear dermatitis. Both HT with anti without human intestinal microflora showed potent inhibitory activity on the ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase release induced by IgE. Based on these findings, HT may be a usable agent for skin disorder contact dermatitis.
