OBJECTIVETo compare the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects of the different water extracts which were prepared by regular decoction time or removing volatie oil and ethanol extracts which were prepared in different concentration ethanol of Xixin (the roots and rhizomes of Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum), and then to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive mechanisms.

METHODXylene-induced ICR mouse ear edema and hot plate test were utilized to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects of Xixin at different dose level (water extracts of regular decoction time or removing volatie oil at the dose of 0.8 g x kg(-1) and 1.6 g x kg(-1); 95% ethanol extracts at the dose of 0.91 g x kg(-1) and 1.82 g x kg(-1); 50% ethanol extracts at the dose of 0.76 g x kg(-1) and 1.52 g x kg(-1)). Xylene-induced adrenalectomized mouse ear edema model was used to study the anti-inflammatory mechanisms. To reveal the anti-nociceptive mechanisms, mice were pretreated with naloxone in the hot plate test.

RESULTThe water extracts significantly reduced the weight of ear edema as compared with control group. Inhibition ratios were 43.20% and 63.69% at the higher dose, respectively. The ethanol extracts also significantly reduced the weight of ear edema and the inhibition ratios were 61.86% and 52. 56% at the higher dose, respectively. Mice administered water extracts delayed the latency times in the hot plate test. The anti-nociceptive effects of water extracts peaked at 2.0 h after i.g. administration. The hot plate latency times were increased by 51.27%, 62.78%, 60.08% and 68.00% at peak time, respectively. Regular decoction time group showed more significant effects in both models. The anti-inflammatory effect of 95% ethanol extracts was similar to 50% ethanol extracts. The water extracts were not effective in reducing xylene-induced adrenalectomized mouse ear edema. The anti-nociceptive effect of water extracts was blocked by naloxone.

CONCLUSIONBoth the water extracts and ethanol extracts of Xixin showed considerable anti-inflammatory potency against xylene induced inflammation. The water extracts produced anti-nociception in thermal model. The water extracts prepared in regular decoction time showed better anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects. Both the 95% ethanol and 50% ethanol extracts showed similarly anti-inflammatory effects. The anti-inflammatory effect of water extracts related to adrenal gland. The anti-nociceptive effect of water extracts was involved in activating opioid receptor.

OBJECTIVEGaultheria yunnanensis. are used widespreadly in the south of China to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of this study was to provide an experimental basis for G. yunnanensis to therapy rheumatoid arthritis.

METHODWe prepared water extracts, ethanol extracts, n-butanol extracts, ethyl acetate extracts and the rest of ethanol extracts from G. yunnanensis. Then, the n-butanol extracts were applied to macroporous resin and eluted with water, 30% ethanol, and 95% ethanol. Rheumatoid arthritis was induced by Freund's complete adjuvant injected into right postpedes in Wistar rats which was utilized to elucidate the anti-inflammatory effect of different extracted liquid of G. yunnanensis. Rats were intragastric injected (ig) with extracts as experimental group or normal saline as control group.

RESULTFreund's complete adjuvant induced arthritis was successfully established: paw edema were increased after Freund's complete adjuvant injection, peaked at 2 or 3 day, then decreased, the paw edema were increased again at 7 or 8 day, and persisted 15 d. Water extracts, n-butanol extracts or ethyl acetate extracts could a significantlly decrease the paw edema as compared with the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The effect of n-butanol extracts was the most powerful. Further, n-butanol extracts eluant with water and 30% ethanol decreased the paw edema. The activity of extracts eluant with 30% ethanol was stronger than that of eluant with water.

CONCLUSIONG. yunnanensis displays considerable effects against Freund s complete adjuvant induced arthritis in rats, which is in concordance with clinical practice. n-Butanol extracts and both of the eluants with water and 30% ethanol produce a significant decrease in the paw edema. 30% ethanol eluants show a stronger activity than others. The effects against rheumatoid arthritis of different parts of G. yunnanensis differ in degree. It is deserved to explore the potential mechanisms of anti-inflammtion of the G. yunnanensis, especially the n-butanol extracts eluant with 30% ethanol.
