2.4.6Anti—inflammatory, anti—viral and anti—bacterial activities
Crude extracts of Eucommia ulmoides bark exhibit anti—inflammatory effects and thus may serve as a potential treatment for inflammatory diseases.Aqueous extracts of Eucommia ulmoides signiflcantly suppressed COX—2 enzyme with IC50 = 9.92 μg/ml,although this effect was less potent than common synthetic non—steroidal anti—inflammatory drugs ( Kim, et al., 2009).In lipopolysaccharide( LPS,1μg/ml) —induced responses of mouse peritoneal macrophages.the Eucommiae cortex(0.1and 0.5 mg/ml)inhibited production of tumor necrosis factor—α, interleukin—6, cyclooxigenase—2, prostaglandin E and nitric oxide ( Kim et al., 2012 ).
Crude polysaccharides isolated from the stem bark of Eucommia ulmoide.s have also been shown to exert beneficial effects on lupus—like syndrome induced by CJ—S (131)in mice.In BALB/c mice immunized with CJ—S( 1.31)in Freund's complete adjuvant,intragestric ad— ministration of crude polysaccharides from the stem bark of Eucommia ulmoides ( 15 and ;30 mg/kg/d for 5 weeks) protected against glomerular injury by reducing immunoglobulin deposition, lowering proteinuria and inhibiting the production of serum autoantibodies and total immunoglobulin G ( Jiang et al., 2011).
Daily intake of alkaline extracts of Eucommia ulmoides tea and/or Eucommia ulmoides extracts may suppress HIV infection.Eucommia ulmoides may be a new efficacious drug for AIDS.
