摘要: Adenosma buchneroides Bonati, also known as fleagrass, is an important medicinal plant used by the Akha (Hani) people of China for treating inflammation-related skin swelling, acne, and diarrhoea, among other conditions. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activities and explore the molecular mechanisms of fleagrass on treating skin swelling and acne. The results demonstrated that fleagrass inhibited the enzymatic activities of 5-LOX and COX-2 in vitro, and decreased the release of NO, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-10 in the LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages. The levels of proteins associated with the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway were examined by western blotting and immunofluorescence, demonstrating that fleagrass downregulated the expression of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB/p65, and iNOS and blocked the nuclear translocation of NF-κB/p65. Furthermore, fleagrass exhibited acute anti-inflammatory activity in paw oedema models. The results confirm that fleagrass exhibits remarkable anti-inflammatory activity and can be used in alleviating inflammation, suggesting that fleagrass has the potential to be a novel anti-inflammatory agent.
