Suppression of Immediate Hypersensitivity by Methyleugenol

메틸유제놀에 의한 즉시형 과민 반응의 억제

Abstract

We studied the action of methyleugenol on immediate hypersensitivity. Methyleugenol completely inhibited systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 in mice. Methyleugenol al so inhibited local anaphylaxis induced by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE. Moreover, methyleugenol dose-dependently inhibited histamine release in peritoneal mast cells activated by compound 48/80 or anti-DNP IgE. These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of methyleugenol on anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 or anti-DNP IgE is due to, in part at least, the membrane stabilization of mast cells.
