Abstract

Polygonum cuspidatum which is widely distributed in Korea has been used as treatments of dermatitis, gonorrhea and inflammation in traditional medicine. We examined anti-inflammatory activities by the inhibition of NO production in RAW264.7 murine macrophages cells. Phytochemical examination of Polygonum cuspidatum led to the isolation and characterization of emodin (1), emodin 8-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (2), emodin 1-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (3). Antioxidative activities of these compounds were determined by measuring the radical scavenging effects on DPPH radicals. Compounds 1 and 3 showed potent activities compared with L-NMMA. These results suggested that the antraquinone compounds isolated from Polygonum cuspidatum might be used as antiinflammatory agents.
