Aqueous extracts of cotton bracts inhibited luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of phagocytosing alveolar macrophages. The inhibitory compounds were partitioned into organic solvents. Chromotographic analysis indicated that these compounds were either lacinilene C or its 7-methyl ether and scopoletin. The fact that the inhibitory activity of these compounds was always less than that of the total extract suggests synergistic action. These compounds may function as etiological agents of byssinosis.
棉苞的水提取物抑制了吞噬性肺泡巨噬细胞的鲁米诺依赖性化学发光。抑制性化合物被分配到有机溶剂中。色谱分析表明，这些化合物要么是拉西尼烯C或其7-甲基醚，要么是东莨菪素。这些化合物的抑制活性总是低于总提取物的抑制活性，这一事实表明存在协同作用。这些化合物可能是棉尘病的病原体。
