Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the Anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory effects of ethanol extract from asiasari radix (AR) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced in RAW 264.7 Cells Methods Anti-oxidative effects of AR were measured by scavenging activities of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in RAW 264.7 cells. Anti-inflammatory effects of AR were measured by mediators including nitric oxide(NO), interleukin-$1{\beta}$ (IL-$1{\beta}$), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necosis factors-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) and iNOS, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA expression in RAW 264.7 cells. Results Total phenolic content was expressed $28.77{\pm}1.67$. DPPH radical Scavenging was increased depend on AR ethanol extract. ABAT radical Scavenging was increased depend on AR ethanol extract. Production of ROS was significantly decreased by AR ethanol extract on concentration of 100 (${\mu}g/ml$). Production of NO was significantly decreased by AR ethanol extract on concentration of $100({\mu}g/ml)$. Production of IL-$1{\beta}$, interleukin-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ were increased depend on AR ethanol extract. And Production of interleukin-6, TNF-${\alpha}$ were significantly decreased AR ethanol extract. iNOS, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA expression of RAW 264.7 cells was increased depend on AR ethanol extract. Conclusions According to this study, AR ethanol extract has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatoy effects.

Mast cells are a potent source of mediators that regulate the inflammatory response in allergic reaction. To evaluate the atopic allergic effect of Asiasari radix(AR), the author investigated a possible effect of AR on mast cell-mediated allergic reaction, cytokines secretion and mRNA expression in vivo and in vitro. In mice orally administered by AR (0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 g/kg) for 1 h, compound 48/80-induced ear swelling was significantly reduced (P < 0.05). AR had inhibitory effects on tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$, interleukin (IL)-8, and IL-6 secretion from HMC-1. Significant reduced levels of $TNF-{\alpha}$ mRNA was observed in the human mast cell line (HMC-1) with AR (1.0 mg/ml). In addition, AR had no cytotoxic effect on cell viability. These results suggest that AR contributes to the treatment of atopic allergic reactions, and that its action may be due to inhibition of cytokine secretion and mRNA expression in HMC-1.

Objectives This study was carried out to find out the Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects of Components of Mahwangbujaseshin-tang in LPS-Stimulated RAW264.7 Macrophages. Methods There are 5 experimental groups. ; normal, control, EH (Ephedrae Herba), ALRP (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) and AR (Asiasari Radix). The extract of EH, ALRP and AR ($100{\mu}g/ml$) was added to each group. We examined cytotoxicity, total phenolic contents, DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity, Intracellular ROS (reactive oxygen species) production, NO (Total Nitric oxide), iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase), PGE2 (prostaglandin E2), COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2), $IL-1{\beta}$ ($interleukin-1{\beta}$), IL-6 (interleukin-6), $TNF-{\alpha}$ (tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$), MMP-9 (matrix metalloproteinase-9), TIMP-1 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1) and HO-1 (heme oxygenase-1) expression level. Results 1. Total phenolic contents of EH were in the highest level. 2. DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity of EH was in the highest level. 3. ROS production was significantly decreased in AR. 4. NO production was significantly decreased in EH, ALRP, AR and iNOS expression was decreased in EH, AR. 5. PGE2 and COX-2 expression was decreased in EH, AR. 6. $IL-1{\beta}$ production was significantly decreased in EH, AR and IL-6 production was significantly decreased in AR. $TNF-{\alpha}$ production was significantly decreased in ALRP, AR. 7. MMP-9 and TIMP-1 production were significantly decreased in EH. 8. HO-1 expression was significantly increased in EH. 9. With simultaneous usage of SnPP which is expression inhibitor of HO-1, NO, $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ production were partially increased in EH, ALRP, AR. Conclusions According to this study, Components of Mahwangbujaseshin-tang have anti-oxidants and anti-inflammation effects in LPS-Stimulated RAW264.7 Macrophages.
