Eryngium foetidum suppresses inflammatory mediators produced by macrophages.

Objective: This study assessed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of E. foetidum leaf extract on LPS-activated murine macrophages.

Methods: RAW264.

Moringa oleifera pod inhibits inflammatory mediator production by lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cell lines.

Pro-inflammatory mediators produced during inflammatory response have been demonstrated to initiate and aggravate pathological development of several chronic diseases. Plant bioactive constituents have been reported to exert anti-inflammatory activities. Various parts of Moringa oleifera have long been used as habitual diets and traditional remedy along the tropical region.

Anti-inflammatory activities of red curry paste extract on lipopolysaccharide-activated murine macrophage cell line.

Objective: This study investigated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of an ethanol extract from Thai red curry paste.

Methods: The RAW264.7 murine macrophage cell line was incubated with the extract (65-260 μg/mL) with or without lipopolysaccharide.

Anti-inflammatory activities of extracts of Thai spices and herbs with lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW 264.7 murine macrophages.

Nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) play important roles in inflammatory processes. This study examined whether 13 spices/herbs commonly used in Thai dishes modulate the production of NO and TNF-alpha by the RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cell line pretreated with plant extracts (1-100 microg/mL) prior to activation by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
