Abstract

|
Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the in vitro anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and antimicrobial effects of the three herbal prescription (EST, SCT, WDT), which has been traditionally used for treating leukorrhea induced by various infections in the female genital tract.
Methods : In this experiment, the anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated by Nitric oxide (NO), Interlukine-1β (IL-1β), Interlukine-2 (IL-2), Interlukine-6 (IL-6), Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂), Leukotriene B₄ (LTB₄) production amount and Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene expression levels in RAW264.7 cells. And the anti-pruritic effects were evaluated by Histamine, Acetylcholine (ACh), Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), Substance P production amount in MC/9 and PC12 cells. The anti-microbial effect was measured by inhibition zone diameter on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger.
Results : As a result of measuring anti-inflammatory efficacy, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α, PGE₂, and LTB₄ production amounts were significantly reduced in the EST, SCT, WDT extraction groups compared with the control group, and significantly decreased the amount of NF-κB, iNOS, and COX-2 gene expression and the amount of Phospho-Inhibitor kappa B alpha (p-IκB-α) / Inhibitor kappa B alpha (IκB-α) and NF-κB p65 protein expression. In addition, As a result of measuring the anti-pruritic effect, the amounts of histamine, ACh and Substance P were significantly decreased, and AChE production was slightly decreased, but it’s significance did not appear. Finally the anti-microbial effects of EST, SCT, WDT extraction groups against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger was inhibited, however the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was not inhibited.
Conclusions : These data suggest that EST, SCT, WDT can be used to treat patients with leukorrhea.
