Flavonoids casticin and chrysosplenol D from Artemisia annua L. inhibit inflammation in vitro and in vivo.
The aim of our experiments was to investigate the anti-inflammatory properties of casticin and chrysosplenol D, two flavonoids present in Artemisia annua L.. Topical inflammation was induced in ICR mice using croton oil. Mice were then treated with casticin or chrysosplenol D. Cutaneous histological changes and edema were assessed. ICR mice were intragastrically administrated with casticin or chrysosplenol D followed by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Mouse Raw264.7 macrophage cells were incubated with casticin or chrysosplenol D. Intracellular phosphorylation was detected, and migration was assessed by trans-well assay. HT-29/NFκB-luc cells were incubated with casticin or chrysosplenol D in the presence or absence of LPS, and NF-κB activation was quantified.. In mice, administration of casticin (0.5, 1 and 1.5μmol/cm(2)) and chrysosplenol D (1 and 1.5μmol/cm(2)) inhibited croton oil-induced ear edema (casticin: 29.39-64.95%; chrysosplenol D: 37.76-65.89%, all P<0.05) in a manner similar to indomethacin (0.5, 1 and 1.5μmol/cm(2); 55.63-84.58%). Casticin (0.07, 0.13 and 0.27mmol/kg) and chrysosplenol D (0.07, 0.14 and 0.28mmol/kg) protected against LPS-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in mice (all P<0.05), in a manner similar to dexamethasone (0.03mmol/kg). Casticin and chrysosplenol D suppressed LPS-induced release of IL-1 beta, IL-6 and MCP-1, inhibited cell migration, and reduced LPS-induced IκB and c-JUN phosphorylation in Raw264.7 cells. JNK inhibitor SP600125 blocked the inhibitory effect of chrysosplenol D on cytokine release.. The flavonoids casticin and chrysosplenol D from A. annua L. inhibited inflammation in vitro and in vivo.

In vivo effect of casticin on acute inflammation.
To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of casticin of Fructus Viticis.. Observations were made on the anti-inflammatory effect of casticin in the models of acute inflammation in vivo.. Casticin inhibited significantly xylene-induced mouse ear edema, egg albumen-induced rat paw edema and acetic acid-induced mouse vascular permeability.. Casticin has significant anti-inflammatory effect on acute inflammation, which is probably related to the inhibition of the inflammation factors. Casticin is the effective constituent contributing to the anti-inflammatory effect of Fructus Viticis.
