Objectives: The purpose of this paper was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of extract from Teucrium veronicoides (TV) on the RAW 264.7 cells. Methods: To evaluate of anti-inflammatory of TV, we examined the cytokine productions on lipopolysacchride (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells and also inhibitory mechanisms using Western blot. Furthermore, We examined LPS-induced endotoxin shock. Results: 1. Extract from TV itself does not have any cytotoxic effect. 2. Extract from TV reduced LPS-induced Nitric oxide (NO),interleukin (IL)-1b, IL-6 and IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) production in RAW 264.7 cells. 3. TV inhibited the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) such as p38, extracelluar signal-regulated kinase (ERK 1/2) and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and also the degradation of inhibitory kappa B a (Ik-Ba) in the LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. 3. TV slightly increased the duration of survival after LPS-induced endotoxin shock. Conclusions: TV down-regulated LPS-induced NO and cytokines production, which could provide a clinical basis for anti-inflammatory properties of TV.
