Thuja orientalis extract (TOS) has been used on the hemostatic roborant, sedatives and stressless in oriental countries. We investigate the inhibitory effects on the productions of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-6, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and nitric oxide (NO) and the hair promotiont of TOS in the macrophage celline RAW264.7 or hair loss-induced DBA1J mice. TOS (50-500 μg/ml) per se had no cytotoxic effect non-stimulated cells, but this extracts concentration-dependently reduced the release of NO, (IL-1β), IL-6, and TNF-α in the stimulate RAW264.7 cells with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Moreover, when applied TOS (500 μg/ml) to DBA 1J/mice, hair growth was promoted remarkably. These data suggest that TOS promotes hair growth on hair loss induced model mice and these properties may contribute to the anti- hair loss activity of the Thuja orientalis.
