The effect of total flavonoids from Saussurea involucrata on the secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages
Abstract:Background Saussurea involucrate (SI) has long been used to treat inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. The main active constituents of SI are flavonoids, which are a class of polyphenolic compounds. However, few studies have investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of the total flavonoids of SI (FSI). The mechanism underlying this action is still not fully understood. In the present study, we employed RAW264.7 cell line as an inflammatory cell model to investigate the anti-inflammatory effec… Show more
