ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Polygonum orientale extract.

Methods:

The acute inflammatory models such as xylene-induced ear edema and egg white-induced paw edema and the chronic inflammatory model granuloma induced by cotton pellet implantation were used in researching the inflammatory effects of water and alcohol extract from P. orientale (POWE and POAE) by ig administration. Meanwhile, the analgesic effects of POWE and POAE were observed by hot plate and acetic acid writhing test.

Results:

Compared with the model group, high- and low-dose (7.5 and 3.75 g/kg) POWE and POAE could significantly inhibit ear edema in mice (P < 0.01) and paw edema in rats (P < 0.05, 0.01). Also, POWE and POAE decreased the granuloma of rats (P < 0.01). Moreover, after treatment with high- and low-dose POWE and POAE, the pain threshold with hot plate method was significantly prolonged (P < 0.01) compared with the model group. The writhing number was reduced after administration (P < 0.01) compared to the model group. However, there were substantial variations between the POAE groups and the same dose of POWE in high and low concentration (P < 0.05, 0.01).

Conclusion:

P. orientale extract possesses the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, and POWE has better effect than POAE.
