To study the preventive and therapeutic effects of Allium Macrostemon Powder (AP) on experimental ulcerative colitis and its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro. Sodium dextran sulfate (DSS) was used to establish the model of ulcerative colitis in mice. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to induce cell inflammation. The scavenging capacity of AP on ABTS and DPPH free radicals was measured in vitro. The results showed that the drug had no significant effect on colitis, but cell experiments in vitro showed that it had obvious anti-inflammatory effect, and had good scavenging ability on ABTS and DPPH free radicals. AP has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

To explore the effect of Coptis chinensis-Scutellaria baicalensis on ulcerative colitis in mice and its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro. Sodium dextran sulfate (DSS) was used to induce acute ulcerative colitis in mice, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to induce cell inflammation model, and ABTS and DPPH models were used to evaluate antioxidant capacity. The results showed that the drug had no significant effect on colitis, but cell experiments in vitro showed that the drug had significant anti-inflammatory effect and could scavenge ABTS and DPPH free radicals. Coptis chinensis-scutellaria baicalensis has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and refractory inflammatory disorder of the colon and rectum with increasing morbidity in recent years. Lian-ai jian (LAJ), a Chinese medicinal herb decoction, including two herbs: Coptidis Rhizoma and Artemisiae Argyi Folium. We group them according to the ancient Chinese medical books "Songfengshuoyi", and investigate the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activity and protective effect on UC of this compound. Dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS)-induced colitis mice were used to assess its protective effect on UC. We also determined the anti-inflammatory ability of LAJ by measuring the inhibition of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α expression in LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. The inhibition of Nitric oxide (NO) production, iNOS expression in RAW 264.7 macrophages and extracellular NO scavenging ability were used as indicators to evaluate the antioxidant activity of LAJ. The results showed that LAJ had strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activity and reduced the disease activity index and colon shortening of mice.
Huzhentongfeng (HZTF) is a compound extract developed by Guangzhou (Jinan) Biomedical Research and Development Center for treating gout. To investigate the antioxidative activity and anti-inflammatory activity of HZTF, the scavenging activity of hydroxyl radical, ferrous ions chelating ability and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were used as indicators to evaluate the antioxidant activity and the lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophages were used to assess its anti-inflammatory activity. The results showed that HZTF had certain antioxidant activity, the IC50 values of HZTF in hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and ferrous ions chelating ability are 163.83 ± 10.49 and 899.72 ± 20.98 μg/mL, respectively and the FRAP value of HZTF are 8.97 ± 0.63 mol FeSO4/g. Moreover, HZTF significantly reduced IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS expression and NO production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages (P < 0.05), which demonstrate that HZTF have good potential to be developed as antioxidant or anti-inflammatory medicines.
