Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To separate and refine the chemical components from n-butanol extract of Ipomoea stolonifera (BE-IS) in Chaoshan area, and investigate their anti-inflammatory activities in vivo. METHODS:The chemical components from BE-IS were separated by different kinds of chromatography and identified by spectrum analysis methods. Then anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated in croton oil-induced ear edema model and carrageenan-induced paw edema model. RESULTS:Scopoletin, umbelliferone, esculetin, hesperetin and curcumin were extracted from BE-IS. Compared to the control group, compounds from BE-IS could inhibit the edema induced by croton oil or carrageenan to different degree, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The chemical components from BE-IS have anti-inflammatoty activities, which explained why Ipomoea stolonifera possess strong anti-inflammatoty activity.
