Component analysis of four-part extracts from Endl. by supercritical fluid extraction and anti-inflammatory effect on RAW 264.7cells.

The main purpose of this study was to suggest a solution for inflammation caused by urban daily life based on supercritical extraction of Endl. (). The leaves, cone, wood, and bark of were separately extracted with supercritical extraction. Alpha-pinene, anti-inflammatory active compound of , was analyzed by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, and gas chromatography mass spectrometry from each part of extracts. As a result of the reduction rate of nitric oxide in RAW 264.7 cells, the wood extract exhibited the highest reduction rate was about 45% among extracts from four part of . The wood extract from can be developed as a good anti-inflammatory natural raw material for natural product industry.
