Abstract
Lacquer has traditionally been used to varnish. Many reports have revealed that lacquer has anti-microbical, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, urushiol and their derivatives were known as an allergen. Therefore, we expected that lacquer will be used as a good health-food source if its side effect was solved. Here we analyzed their allergy induced constituents by using the GC/MS and evaluated comparative concentration of lacquer, puerariae radix and their mixture extracts. Our results showed that lacquer extract has allergenic compounds and mixture extract with puerariae radix has relatively lower amount. However, lacquer/puerariae mixture extract has strong anti-allergenic effects on the RBL-2H3 cell and puerariae extract was blocked allergenic effect caused by allergenic constituents contained in lacquer.
