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.

Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate the effect of HT008, a multi-herbal mixture consisting of 3 herbs, Eleutherococcus senticosus, Angelica sinensis, and Scutellaria baicaleinsis on arthritic model in rats. Methods : The anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities were observed by utilizing the following models: carrageenan-induced edema of the hind paw of rats, acetic acid-induced writhing response in mice. The perimeter of the paw was measured before injection and then at 1, 2, 4, 6 h after injection of 1% $\lambda$-carrageenan. The HT008 at five dose levels (10, 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg) and distilled water given 30 min to treatment groups and control group, before $\lambda$-carrageenan injection. In the writhing test, the mice received 0.7% acetic acid solution in normal saline injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 10 ml/kg. The number of writhes was counted staring 10 min after injection. Results : HT008 at four dose levels (30, 100, and 300 mg/kg) significantly decreased the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema perimeter. E. senticosus and S. baicaleinsis extracts reduced acetic acid-induced writhing response in mice. Also A. sinensis extracts significantly decreased the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema perimeter. Conclusions : These results show that HT008, a multi-herbal mixture has both anti-inflammatory activity and analgesic effects in vivo arthritic model, and suggest that HT008 could be a good therapy to treat human osteoarthritis.

A number of 4-hydroxy-2H (or alkyl)-N-(3-aralkyl-2-thio-1-hydantoinyl)-1, 2-benzothiazine3-carboxamide 1, 1-dioxides were synthesized through the reaction of 4-hydroxy-2H (or alkyl)1, 2-benzothiazine-3-carboxylic methyl ester 1, 1-dioxide and 1-amino-2-thio-3-aralkyl-4-imidazolones in xylene. The compounds synthesized were screened for antinflammatory effect on carrageenin-induced edema in rat and for analgesic effect on acetic acid-induced Writhing syndrome in mice. Most compounds were inhibots of carrageenin-induced rat foot edema and some showed significant antinflammatory activity comparable to that of indomethacin and significant analgesic activity comparable to that of indomethacin and aspirin.

To elucidate the effects of Chokyungsan and Chunkeunchokyungtang, after oral administration of Chokyungsan and Chunkeunchokyungtang water extract in mice and rats, acute toxicity, analgesic, sedative, esoogenic actions, action on isolated uterine muscle were measured. The rlesults obtained were as follows: 1. The yield of water extract of Chokyungsan and Chunkeunchokyungtang was 24.5%, 32.2%, minimum lethal dose was 4,000mg/kg, which rarely had the acute toxicity in mice and rats. 2. The analgesic effects of Chokyungsan and Chunkeunchokyungtang by acetic acid induced writhing syndrome in mice were not remarkaely observed. 3. The relaxant action of Chokyungsan on on oxytocin induced contracted uterine muscle in estrogenized rats were not remarkably observed, but Chunkeunchokyungtang were remarked. 4. The sedative effects of Chokyungsan and Chunkeunchokyungtang by hexobabital sodium induced sleeping time in mice. 5. administration of Chokyungsan and Chunkeunchokyungtang caused remarkable increase in weight of rat's uterus.

Objective : The purpose of these research was to investigate effects of water extract of Bistortae Rhizoma(BRE) on the hemostasia, anti-inflammatory action and central nervous system. Methods : we used mice and rats administered with the extract of the above herbs. Results : BRE decreased the permeability of evans blue into peritoneal cavity and cotton pellet granuloma formation. BRE did not decrease the acetic acid induced writhing syndrome and the histamine induced mouse paw edema. BRE inhibited the pentylenetetrazole and the strychnine induced convulsion. BRE shortened the bleeding time and plasma prtrombin time. BRE did not affect on the proliferation of Balb/c 3T3 cells. Conclusions : these results suggest that the effects of BRE are the hemostasia, anti-inflammatory action, and mild depressant activity of central nervous system.

The synthesis of phenoxyalkanoic acid derivatives and their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities are described. Analysis of structure-activity relationships shows that in trichlorophenoxy derivatives anti-edematous potency is associated with the presence of 1-thiopropyl moiety and 2 or 40aminopyridyl moiety at $R^{l}$ position contributes to the analgesic activity.

Effects of Allolobophora caliginosatrapezoides (Ac) polysaccharide fractions on the inflammation and hypersensitivity were studied in vivo. It showed that Ac polysaccharide fractions have the significant inhibitory activities of inflammation and hypersensitivity; They inhibited significantly the carrageenin-induced paw edema and acetic acid-induced writhing syndrome. They also inhibited significantly the Arthus reaction and delayed hypersensitivity in the sheep red blood cell-sensitized mice in accordance with the inhibition of haemaglutinin titer, haemolysin titer, plaque-forming cells and rosette-forming cells. They also improved markedly the oxazolone-induced dermatitis in rats dose-dependently. As the above results, it exhibited that Ac polysaccharide fraction inhibited not only humoral immune response, but also cell-mediated immune response. It seemed that methanol and ether extracts have also another physiological active agents.

Previously, we have reported that the butanol fraction of the head of Panax ginseng had significant gastroprotective activity on gastritis and gastric ulcer models of rats. Considering the safety of the fraction for development of new anti-ulcerative agent or food supplement, general pharmacological study was carried on. The fraction was revealed that have no influence on spontaneous activity, phenobarbital-induced sleeping time, rotarod test, body temperature, gastro-intestinal motility, respiration and blood pressure. The fraction showed weak analgesic action in writhing syndrome and did not show any sign of acute toxicity in mice.

To investigate the experimental effects of Chunwangboshimdan which have been widely used for aterial or auricular flutter, neurosis, insomnia and disease caused by cardiac malfunction, we have done the effects on the central nervous and cardiovascular system. The result as follow; It inhibited the convulsion induced by caffeine, the writhing syndrome induced by acetic acid and the spontaneous movement. Furthermore it prolonged the sleeping time induced by thiopental-Na in mice. It also showed the negative inotropic action on the isolated heart of frog, the vasodilative action as to peripheral bloods of rabbit ear and the hypotensive action in the anesthetized rabbit.
