Abstract
Glehnia littoralis (Umbelliferae) is the medicinal plant used traditionally for treatment of immune-related diseases. Prostaglandins and nitric oxide (NO) have been implicated as important mediators in the processes of inflammation and carcinogenesis. For understanding the mechanisms for pharmacological activities of Glehnia littoralis, we evaluated the inhibitory activity of Glehnia littoralis on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced prostaglandin
