This study is to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of the ethylacetate extract of Rehmannia glutinosa(RGEAE). The anti-inflammatory activities using nitric oxide (NO), cytokine, and chemokine production in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells were checked. Results indicated that RGEAE suppressed the NO, interleukin-6 (IL-6), andmonocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) production in a dose-dependent manner. Inhibition of NO formation was due to adecrease in inducible NOS (iNOS) expression. It was also found that the anti-inflammatory activities of RGEAE resulted from itsinhibitory role on the nuclear factor (NF)-κB activation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Therefore, it is suggestedthat RGEAE has potential as a therapeutic material to attenuate the inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis.
