PG - 427-43 LID - 10.1007/s12010-016-2004-0 [doi] AB - The methanolic extract of E. scaber Linn was evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity by determining its effects on production of pro-inflammatory cytokines like Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated monocytes. The cytotoxicity of the extract was analyzed prior to the cytokine quantification assays. The extract was further subjected to UPLC MS Q-TOF, for the identification of bioactive components present in the crude extract. The extract was found not to be cytotoxic against monocytes, and exhibited significant inhibition in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The presence of 34 components in the methanolic extract was detected through mass spectrum analysis.
