PG - 483-8 AB - 1. To assess the contribution of an aqueous extract of Ulmi radicis cortex (AEURC) in systemic anaphylaxis, compound 48/80 was used as a fatal anaphylaxis inducer in rats. 2. AEURC completely inhibited anaphylactic shock with a dose of 1.0 g/kg body weight (BW) 1 hr before injection of compound 48/80. 3. AEURC significantly inhibited serum histamine levels induced by compound 48/80. 4. AEURC (1.0 g/kg BW) also inhibited by 79.1% passive cutaneous anaphylaxis activated by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE. 5. AEURC dose dependently inhibited the histamine release from the rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMCs) by compound 48/80. Moreover, AEURC had a significant inhibitory effect on anti-DNP IgE-induced histamine release and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production from RPMC. 6. The level of cAMP in RPMC, when AEURC was added, significantly increased compared with that of a normal control. 7. These results indicate that AEURC may possess strong antianaphylactic action.
