本研究使用96微米與5微米的廣藿香(Pogostemon cablin Benth.)之溶液為材料,對細胞抑制炎性應答效果之研究。以三種促炎因子,包含一氧化氮(nitric oxide, NO)、白介素6(interleukin 6, IL-6)和腫瘤壞死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-alpha, TNF-α)作為分析目標。並探討是否有細胞毒性(microculture tetrazolium assay, MTT assay)。結果顯示,96微米與5微米的廣藿香溶液,均具顯著抑制NO與IL-6 產生的抑制炎性效果,但對TNF-α無抑制作用,同時皆未測得細胞毒性。總結結論是:使用更為微細粒徑的5微米廣藿香溶液,除了具有顯著抗炎效果外,更具節省材料與節省成本的效益,並且呈正面效果和創新優勢,為廣藿香提供進一步的研究與開發思路和依據。
This study used 96-micron and 5-micron patchouli (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) solution as the ingredients to explore its anti-inflammatory response effect on cells. Cause inflammation of three factors, nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), be explored and cytotoxicity (microculture tetrazolium assay, MTT assay) be analyzed. The results showed that the both of micronized patchouli solution have significantly inhibited effect on NO and IL-6. But it has no inhibitory effect on TNF-α. Meanwhile, no cytotoxicity was detected at the test. The conclusions address that the use of finer particle size of 5-micron patchouli solution have a significant anti-inflammatory effect, and more saving of ingredients and cost-saving benefits, as well as present positive effects and innovative advantages. This study also provides a gate to further research and development ideas for patchouli and basis.
