Abstract

We studied the effect of methanol extract of Pachydictyon coriaceum (PC) on atopic allergic reaction. PC dose-dependently inhibited interleukin (IL)-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$ secretion from the PMA- pius A23187- stimulated HMC-1. PC also dose-dependently inhibited the histamine and $\beta$-hexosaminidase release from mast cells. PC had no cytotoxic effect. (omitted)
