  • The anti-inflammatory activity of SEO-KYONG-TANG extract(SKTWE) was examined by using carrageenin- and acetic acid-induced edema, croton oil-induced granuloma pouch, and adjuvant arthritis in rats. In addition, the acute toxicity, analgesic and antipyretic effects of SKTWE were investigated by using general experimental methods in mice. SKTWE did not show acute toxicity at 2400 mg/kg(p.o.) nor 1200 mg/kg(i.p.). After oral administration of the SKTWE to rats, significant anti-inflammatory activity was observed on 1% carrageenin- and 5% acetic acid-induced edema. Also, it significantly inhibited granuloma and exudation in these. In the adjuvant arthritis experiment, the SKTWE decreased the hind paw edema after 3 days of oral administration. In addition, it inhibited the writhing syndromes induced by 0.7% acetic acid in mice. The antipyretic activity of SKTWE was also observed through the typhoid vaccine experiment. These results suggest that SKTWE has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic action.

  • The aim of this study was to reduce the side effects and to develop effective drugs using bucillamine (B), lornoxicam (L), and its mixtures on the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. With this goal, we compared their effects on the four different mixtures with a sole treatment (B 40 mg/kg and L 1.60 mg/kg). The mixture 1, 2, 3, and 4 ratios of B to L (mg/kg) were 20 to 0.80, 40 to 1.60, 80 to 3.20, and 40 to 1.14, respectively. In terms of acetic acid-induced vascular permeability, B and L inhibited the amount of dye leakage approximately 37.8 and 66.5%, respectively. And mixture 1, 2 and 3 showed inhibition of 47.4%, 81.5%, and 84.3%. The mixture 4 inhibited approximately 49.4%. In carrageenan- induced paw edema model, mixtures of B and L effectively inhibited paw edema measured 1/2~3 hours after carrageenan injection. Especially, mixture 2 inhibited 50.7%, 52.7%, 50.9% of paw edema after 1, 2, and 3 hr, significantly. We also examined an analgesic effect using the writhing test. In terms of the acetic acid-induced writhing syndrome, the control group showed writhing syndrome 18.5 times. B and L showed 9 and 6.3 times, inhibiting 51.6% and 65.9% respectively. And aspirin, as a positive control drug, showed the 7.1 times writhing syndrome. The mixture 1, 2, 3, and 4 also significantly inhibited the writhing syndrome to 62.2%, 93.0%, 51.4%, and 77.8%, respectively. From these results, we could suggest that the range of B and L ratio of 25 : 1 to 35 : 1 may be applicable to developing analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

  • The aim of present study was to investigate the possible influence and the related mechanism of Cinnamomum cassia derived-cinnamaldehyde on the inflammation or nociception. Cinnamomum cassia was referred to be treated for common cold or dyspepsia in the traditional medicine. However, there are no reports on the antinociceptive or anti-inflammatory properties of cinnamaldehyde, the primary ingredient of Cinnamomum cassia. We hypothesized that cinnamaldehyde would play a role in the modulation of inflammation or nociception evoked by carrageenan, acetic acid or heat. Male Institute of Cancer Research mice were used and the size of edema, frequency of writhing and latency of abnormal behaviors such as licking, flicking, shaking or jumping were measured and recorded. The present study was carried out to evaluate the antiinflammatory and antinociceptive effects of cinnamaldehyde. The administration of cinnamaldehyde (30 and 100 mg/kg) inhibited carrageenan-induced paw edema only at the final phase, suggesting the blockade of synthesis or release of prostaglandins. It also reduced the frequency of the acetic acid-induced writhing reflex in mice. In addition, the administration of cinnamaldehyde prolonged the latency for extraordinary reaction at the hot plate in mice. In conclusion, cinnamaldehyde has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and is a potential therapeutic for inflammation and nociception.

  • The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of supercritical fluid extract of Kamichungbieum (SFE) on allergic reaction. SFE (500 mg/kg) inhibited the systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 or platelet activating factor and inhibited the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) induced by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP)-lgE and DNP-human serum albumin (HSA) in vivo. Also, SFE inhibited the SRSC-induced delayed type hypersensitivity and inhibited the hind paw edema induced by histamine. In addition, SFE inhibited the permeability of evans blue induced by acetic acid and inhibited the writhing syndrome induced by acetic acid. These results indicate that SFE may be useful for the prevention and treatment of allergy related disease.

  • Chang-Back-San and Chil-Mi-Chang-Back-San have been used for the treatment of neuralgia and arthritis in traditional medicine. The anti-inflammatory activities of Chang-Back-San and Chil-Mi-Chang-Back-San water extract (CBSE and CCBSE) on the carrageenin induced edema, Corton oil induced granuloma pouch, and adjuvant arthritis in rats were examined. The analgesic effects of the CBSE and CCBSE were also investigated utilizing acetic acid induced writhing syndrome in mice. The oral administration of CBSE and CCBSE showed to have the anti-inflammatory activities in 1% carrageenin induced edema in rats. They also showed significant inhibitory effects on granuloma and exudate formation in rats. In the method of adjuvant arthritis, they orally administered for 19 days, inhibited the hind paw edema in rats from 3rd day to 19th day, especially CCBSE has the efficacy more than CBSE. They significantly decreased the number of writhing syndromes induced by acetic acid in mice. In the present study, CBSE and CCBSE were indicated to have the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities.

  • Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica var saboten Makino) is a tropical or subtropical plant, which is widely used as folk medicine for burned wound, edema and indigestion. We previously found that the ethanol extract of cactus stem showed anti-inflanunatory action. This investigation was designed to isolate the active fraction of anti-inflanimatory action from cactus stem by solvent extraction and colunm chromatography. Carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats and acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice were used as animal models to search anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. respectively. The ethanol extract of cactus stem was consecutively extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. The hexane fraction was the most effective in carrageenan-induced paw edema, and then was separated in colunm chromatography of silica gel by the elution with hexane/ethyl acetate mixture. The most effective fraction 1 was separated in a second colunm chromatography by eluting with hexane/diethyl ether mixture. The most effective fraction 1-5 was obtained, and separated in a third column chromatography by eluting with hexane/chloroform mixture. It produced the most effective fraction 1-5-1. Moreover, fraction 1-5-1 showed an inhibitory effect on acetic acid-induced writhing in the doses of 30mg/kg and 60mg/kg,p.o.,indicating that it also contained analgesic activity.

  • The purpose of this research was to investigate effects of Bangpoongtongsungsan water extract(BTSE) on the immune reaction, anti-allergy action and anti-inflammatory action in BALB/c mice. The administration of BTSE (500mg/kg) enhanced the cell viability of thymocytes and the population of helper T cells in splenic T-lymphocytes. BTSE suppressed the production of nitric oxide, but enhanced the phagocytic activity in peritoneal macrophages. BTSE enhanced hemagglutination titer in mice. BTSE inhibited passive cutaneous anaphylaxis induced by egg albumin in rat, the lethal anaphylaxis induced by platelet activating factor and compound 48/80 in mice, and then inhibited the degranulation of peritoneal mast cells induced by compound 48/80. BTSE did not inhibit Arthus reaction, but inhibited the delayed type hypersensitivity induced by SRBC and contact dermatitis induced by DNFB. BTSE inhibited the acute hind paw edema induced by histamine after 30 minutes, the permeability of evans blue into peritoneal cavity induced by acetic acid and the writhing syndrome induced by acetic acid. These results suggest that BTSE has an immunopotentiative action, anti-allergy action and anti-inflammatory action via the inhibition of histamine release.

  • Anti-infammatory, analgesic and ulcerogenic activities of fentiazac were investigated in comparison with those of acetylsalicylic acid, fenbufen, naproxen and phenylbutazone. On the anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenin-induced rat paw edema and the analgesic activity on writhing syndrome induced with acetic acid in mice, fentiazac displayed more potent effect than acetylsalicylic acid, fenbufen and pbenylbutazone. But the ulcerogenic action of fentiazac on gastrointestinal tract in fasting rats was less than that of reference drugs. From these investigation, fentiazac seemed to indicate a poor correlation between the extent of anti-inflammatory activity and ulcerogenic action.

  • The crude ethanol extract of leaves of Avicennia officinalis Linn. (Family: Avicenniaceae) was screened for its antinociceptive activity. The extract produced significant writhing inhibition in acetic acid-induced writhing in mice at the oral dose of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight (P < 0.001) comparable to the standard drug diclofenac sodium at the dose of 25 mg/kg of body weight. The result tends to suggest the antinociceptive activity of the extract.
