Effect of Argemone mexicana on Local Edema and LPS-Induced Neuroinflammation.

Summary

Scientists investigated the anti-inflammatory properties of Argemone mexican L., a plant commonly used in Mexican traditional medicine. They tested an extract (AmMeOH), a fraction extracted with ethyl acetate (AmAcOEt), and four sub-fractions (AmF-1 to AmF-4) for their effectiveness against inflammation caused by 2-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and neuroinflammation caused by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Treatment with AmAcOEt and AmF-3 showed the greatest reduction in inflammation and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the spleen and brain of mice with neuroinflammation. AmF-3 contains three flavonoids, including isoquercetin, which had the highest concentration. These findings suggest that A. mexican L. may have beneficial effects on inflammatory and nervous medical conditions.
