Purpose: Wogonin is an active component isolated from scutellariae radix. This study was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of wogonin mixed with hydrogel on osteoclast differentiation. Methods: It was performed to estimate cytotoxicity of Wogonin alginate hydrogel disk(WHD) in BMMs stimulated with RANKL, M-CSF. ROS synthesis and actin ring formation were analysed to observe the effect of WHD. Results: WHD has no cytotoxicity at the concentration of 0.1 ${\mu}g/ml$ or lower. 0.1 ${\mu}g/ml$, 1 ${\mu}g/ml$ WHD restrained the synthesis of ROS and 0.1 ${\mu}g/ml$, 1 ${\mu}g/ml$ WHD restrained the formation of actin ring. Conclusions: WHD has the inhibitory effect of osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. Further studies are needed to treat osteoporosis by herbal medicine.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of aqueous extract from Picrasmae Lignum(PL). Methods: To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of PL extract, the productions of NO, PGE2 and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine(IL-1b, IL-6 and TNF-a) were measured in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore Western blot analysis has been done to look into the inhibitory mechanisms such as MAPKs and NF-kB. Results: PL extract down-regulated LPS-induced NO, PGE2, IL-1b, IL-6 and TNF-a productions mainly through JNK and p38 MAPK pathway and NF-kB pathway. Conclusions: These results suggest that PL extract may be effective for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
