Abstract

Objective : This study was undertaken to determine the inhibitory effect of Whallak-tang against Nitric Oxide, the scavenging effect of Whallak-tang on DPPH radical. Methods : Both nitric concentration 1, 3, 6 and 24 hours after treatment with Vit. C and Whallak-tang at 0.1, 1, 10 mg/ml and scavenging effect 10, 20, 30 and 60 minute after treatment with Vit. C and Whallak-tang at 0.1, 1, 10 mg/ml were estimated. Results : The inhibitory effect of Whallak-tang against Nitric Oxide was dose-dependent. The scavenging effect of Whallak-tang on DPPH radical was dose-dependent. Conclusion : These results would provide important basic data on the possibility of the clinical treatment of Whallak-tang in musculoskeletal disease.
