Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was carried out to investigate the effects YSTG on the skin inflammatory reactions. Among the herbal ingredients of YSTG, ethanol extracts of Cinnamoni Ramulus, Polygoni Avicularis Herba and Scutellariae Radix showed potent radical scavenging activity, more than 90% at a concnentration of 0.01%, tested by DPPH(I,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hyrazyl) method. And ethanol extract of Saussureae Radix inhibited the lipopolysaccharide-induced release of nitric oxide(NO), 86% at 50㎍／㎖, by the macrophage RAW 246.7 cells. In addition, the ethanol extracts of Cinnamoni Ramulus and Polygoni Avicularis Herba showed antibacterial activities on Staphylococcus aureus that was reported to cause impetigo and atopic disease, Cinnamoni Ramulus, Saussureae Radix and Plantaginis Semen on Propionibacterium acnes that causes acne, and Cinnamoni Ramulus on Candida albicans that causes cadidiasis, Saussureae Radix on Corynebacterium xerosis that cause osmidrosis axillae. Taken together, I expect that YSTG may be used as an effective drug for treatment on skin inflammation.
