RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To identify the anti-inflammatory effects of artificial musk aqueous extract(AME)on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cytokines secreted or released by RAW264.7 cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Cytokines including interleukin(IL)-6,IL-10,and tumor necrosis factor Α were determined using cytokine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Compared with model group,the levels of major cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor Α,IL-6,and IL-10 significantly decreased in different AME groups in a dose-dependent manner.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>In lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages,AME can remarkably inhibit the release of inflammatory cytokines and thus exerts its anti-inflammatory effects.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the safety of artificial musk by determining its content of five hazard heavy metals.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The contents of Pb, Cd,As,Hg,and Cu in artificial musk were detected using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The contents of Pb,Cd,As,Hg,and Cu was less than 0.35,0.05,0.30,0.20,and 4.50 mg/kg in artificial musk.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Artificial musk has low contents of heavy metals and therefore meets the safety and quality requirments.</p>
