In this study, we firstly investigated the anti--inflammatory activity of SA extracts by petroleum ether（PE）, ethyl acetate（EtOAc）, and H2O in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Results showed that the EtOAc extract rich in phenolics and flavonoids significantly inhibited LPS-induced NO, TNF--α, and IL-6 production in RAW 264.7 cells（P0.01）, suggesting that this extract possessed potent anti--inflammatory activity. The phytochemical profile of the effective extract was subsequently analyzed by HPLC fingerprint with 11 standards. The results indicated that gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, p--hydroxybenzoic acid, ethyl gallate, iriflophene, 5,7-dihydroxy chromone, quercitrin, quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin were present in this extract, which might contribute to its anti-inflammatory activity. Thus, the Et -OAc extract of SA showed anti-inflammatory activity and could be used as a potential natural anti--inflammatory agent.展开更多
