초록

This research was undertaken to find the in vitro anti-inflammatory action of the essenetial oil (CS-oil) extracted from Chrysanthemum sibiricum (Compositae) herbs. We investigated the effects of the CS-oil not only on the formation NO and $PGE_2$ and TNF-$\alpha$ but also on inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced murine macrophage 264.7. The data obtained were consistent with the modulation of iNOS enzyme expression. (omitted)
