Abstract

In the present study, the anti-inflammatory effect of Jungcheonhwadamgangki-tang(定喘化痰降氣湯) water extract was tested in formalin-injection mouse hind paw chronic inflammation model. The test articles were dosed once a day for 10 days, and changes on the body weight, paw weights were observed with histopathology of induced paw dorsum pedis. In addition, histomorphometry was also monitored at sacrifice. The increases of absolute and relative hind paw weight detected in vehicle control compared to that of sham, were significantly and dose-dependently inhibited by Jungcheonhwadamgangki-tang in the present study. A classic acute inflammatory histological changes such as subcutaneous edema, hypertrophy and infiltration of inflammatory cells, was detected in vehicle control. However, these histological changes were significantly and dose-dependently inhibited by Jungcheonhwadamgangki-tang. In addition, the increases of hind paw weight detected in the vehicle control, were also dose-dependently decreased in the all Jungcheonhwadamgangki-tang-dosing groups. Base on these aforementioned results, it is concluded that Jungcheonhwadamgangki-tang have clear anti-inflammatory effect on the chronic inflammation induced by formalin-injection.
