ABSTRACT

Mecasin, a traditional medicine, contains nine herbal constituents: Curcuma longa, Salvia miltio rhiza, Gastrodia elata, Chaenomeles sinensis, Polygala tenuifolia, Paeonia japonica, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Atractylodes japonica and processed Aconitum carmichaeli. Several biological effects of mecasin have been described both in vivo and in vitro. Previous studies have demonstrated that mecasin has anti-inflammatory effects. The purpose of the present study was to determine anti-inflammatory effects of mecasin and its natural product constituents on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 cells by measuring nitrite and nitric oxide contents. Nitrite production levels in LPS-stimulated BV2 cells incubated with mecasin and each individual constituent of mecasin were measured. The results suggested that C. longa , P. tenuifolia and P. japonica inhibited nitrite production in a pattern similar to that of mecasin. The effect of mecasin was likely a result of synergistic effects of its natural herb constituents.
