The purpose of this research was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of Yongdamsagantanghaphwangryunhaedogkagam(YSHHK) which has been medicated the patient such as breast cellulitis. YSHHK did not show any cytotoxic effect on mouse lung fibroblast cells at any of the concentrations evaluated(200, 100, 50, 10, 1 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$). YSHHK in RAW264.7 cell inhibited $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$, COX-2 and NOS-II mRNA genes expression in a concentration-dependent manner. YSHHK inhibited NO production significantly at the concentration of 100, 50 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ and ROS production in a concentration-dependent manner. YSHHK inhibited $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ production significantly in serum of mice with LPS-induced acute inflammation. YSHHK increased survival rate of mice with LPS-induced lethal endotoxemia, compared to the control group, from the 3rd day onward. These results suggest that Yongdamsagantanghaphwangryunhaedogkagam(YSHHK) can be useful in treating mammary diseases caused by inflammation such as breast cellulitis.
