The anti-inflammatory activity of water extract of Mahaengeuigam-Tang(MHEGTWE) was examined using the carrageenin and acetic acid induced edema, croton oil induced granuloma pouch, and adjuvant arthritis in rats.
In addition, the acute toxicity, analgesic and antipyretic effects of MHEGTWE were investigated by the general experimental methods In acute toxicity test in mice, MHEGTWE showed 10% mortahty at 2400 mg/kg(p.o), but it &d not showed at 1200 mg/kg(ip) significant analgesic action on the writhing syndrome induced by 0.7% acetic acid at 600 mg/kg(po) and its antipyretic activity was observed in the typhoid vaccine induced fevered rats at 300 It was also showed mg/kg(p.o).
By the oral administration of the MHEGTWE, the significant anti-inflammatory activity was observed on 1% carrageenin induced edema, and it Significantly inhibited the granuloma and exudate formation m rats In the adjuvant arthritis experiment, the MHEGTWE decreased the hind paw edema in rats for 19 days.
The levels of s-GOT, s-GPT and total cholesterol in serum did not change The results suggest that MHEGTWE has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic action.
