Abstract: This work was aimed to explore the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Prunus tomentosa thunb total flavones (PTTTF) on LPS induced RAW264.7 cell inflammation. By using RAW264.7 cell inflammation model induced by LPS, the effects of PTTTF on the generation of IL-6, IL-1β, and PGE2, and the expressions of COX-1 and COX-2 were examined. The PTTTF at concentration of more than 4 μg/mL significantly inhibited the generation of IL-6, IL-1β and PGE2 (P<0.05); whereas, when PTTTF at concentration of 40 μg/mL, it could inhibit the expression of COX-1, but not that of COX-2. PTTTF can significantly inhibit the generation of cell inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-1β and PGE2, and the expression of COX-2, but have no significant effect on the expression of COX-1.
