| description | This study investigated the anti-inflammatory properties of Ajuga integrifolia, an herbal preparation. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analyses were conducted to identify active compounds in the preparation. The researchers also assessed its ability to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory enzymes, cyclooxygenases (COX-1, COX-2), and lipoxygenase (5-LOX) in vitro. The extracts demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of these enzymes, with some extracts showing IC50 values comparable to standard anti-inflammatory drugs. The ethanol extract exhibited significant inhibition of 5-LOX (52.99 μg/mL), compared to the standard drug zileuton (32.41 μg/mL), while the inhibition of COX-1 (66.00 μg/mL) and COX-2 (71.62 μg/mL) was comparable to the standard drug indomethacin (40.57 and 54.39 μg/mL, respectively). These findings suggest that A. integrifolia has the potential to be used as a herbal remedy for treating inflammatory conditions. By inhibiting pro-inflammatory enzymes, the extracts may effectively reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing or repair. The inhibition potential of extract of this plant can be taken as a good candidate of anti-inflammatory agent. |
