Effect of Polyphenols in Sea Buckthorn Berry on Chemical Mediator Release from Mast Cells.

Article Synopsis
- Sea buckthorn (SBB) is a plant found in northern Eurasia, known for its berries that are popular in health foods, though their exact health benefits are still unclear.
- Recent research showed that SBB extract can reduce allergic responses by inhibiting histamine and leukotriene B release from mast cells, which are involved in Type-I allergies.
- The main active component identified in SBB is isorhamnetin, a flavonol that effectively blocks the release of these chemicals and the influx of calcium ions in mast cells, suggesting that SBB may help manage Type-I allergies through its antioxidant polyphenols.
Echinacea purpurea water extracts suppress the release of chemical mediators from mast cells.

Histamine and leukotrienes (LTs), the chemical mediators released from mast cells, play an important role in type-I allergies such as hay fever. Echinacea purpurea (EP) has traditionally been used for herbal tea and has been reported to show biological functions. We evaluated the inhibitory activity of water extracts of EP petals, leaves, and stems against the chemical mediators released from mast cell lines.
