Sedum kamtschaticum Fischer (Crassulaceae) has been used as a folk medicine in North-East Asia for treating inflammatory disorders. The present investigation was carried out to establish in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and cyclooxygenase-2 modulating activity of this plant material. The methanol extract of Sedum kamtschaticum significantly inhibited mouse croton oil-induced ear edema (24-47% inhibition at 50-400 mg/kg) and rat paw edema (24-30% inhibition at 400-800 mg/kg) by oral administration. Prednisolone (10 mg/kg) showed 54 and 36% inhibition in the same animal models, respectively. Sedum kamtschaticum also showed significant inhibitory activity against mouse ear edema induced by multiple treatment of phorbol ester for 3 days. In addition, Sedum kamtschaticum exhibited potent analgesic activity against mouse acetic acid-induced writhing (IC50=125 mg/kg), while aspirin (200 mg/kg) showed 57% inhibition. Using lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW 264.7 cells, down-regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 expression was found to be one of the cellular action mechanisms of anti-inflammation by Sedum kamtschaticum.
堪察加景天(景天科)在东北亚地区一直被用作治疗炎症性疾病的民间药物。本研究旨在确定这种植物材料的体内抗炎活性和环氧合酶 - 2调节活性。通过口服给予,堪察加景天的甲醇提取物显著抑制小鼠巴豆油诱导的耳肿胀(在50 - 400 mg/kg时抑制率为24 - 47%)和大鼠足肿胀(在400 - 800 mg/kg时抑制率为24 - 30%)。泼尼松龙(10 mg/kg)在相同动物模型中分别显示出54%和36%的抑制率。堪察加景天对佛波酯多次处理3天诱导的小鼠耳肿胀也显示出显著的抑制活性。此外,堪察加景天对小鼠醋酸诱导的扭体表现出强效镇痛活性(IC50 = 125 mg/kg),而阿司匹林(200 mg/kg)显示出57%的抑制率。使用脂多糖处理的RAW 264.7细胞,发现环氧合酶 - 2表达的下调是堪察加景天抗炎的细胞作用机制之一。
