Abstract: Objective To observe effects of different concentrations of the Gentiana macrophylla iridoid glucoside(GMI) in different period inflammatory models, and discuss the possibility of anti-inflammation. Methods The anti-inflammatory models of GMI were investigated in mice by methods of the capillary permeability increase (AIPCPI), the cotton-pellet induced-granuloma(CPIG) xylene-induced auricle swelling (XIAS), intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid-induced peritoneal capilnd egg white-induced balloon back synovial inflammation. Levels of XIAS and CPIG in mouse were detected by weighing. Levels of mouse peritoneal washing fluid in the content of Evans blue, synovitis exudate volume, white blood cells(WBC), tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α), the exudate and serum levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde were determined by chemical method respectively. Result Compared with negative control group, levels of XIAS, AIPCPI and CPIG decreased significantly in GMI group. Levels of WBC, MDA and TNF-α significantly decreased in GMI group than those of negative control group, but the activity of the exudate and serum SOD increased significantly in GMI group compared with that of negative control group. Conclusion The GMI showed protective effects on inflammation in animal models, which might be mediated through inhibition of the exudation of inflammatory factors, the lipid peroxidation and the elimination of free radicals.
