Abstract

The inhibitory effect of 10 lignan constituents isolated from the rhizomes of Coptis japonica var. dissecta on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophage cell line (RAW264.7 cells) has been studied. Among them, pinoresinol, woorenoside-V and lariciresinol glycoside showed significant inhibitory activities in the range from 37% to 55% at the concentration of 25 micrograms/ml. The results are first report that the lignans isolated from Coptis japonica inhibit TNF-alpha production, and suggest that the lignan components may partly participate in antiinflammatory and antiallergic effect of Coptis japonica through the inhibition of TNF-alpha production.
