Example 7

The potential anti-inflammatory activity of mint essential oils (EOs) was assessed by nitric oxide (NO) production on LPS-stimulated murine RAW264.7 macrophages. The cell viability of macrophages with EO treatment was examined in parallel. LM-EO and KWM-EO show inhibitory activity on NO production in the LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells with IC50 values of 86.5 and 95.8 μg/mL, respectively (FIG. 8). Meanwhile, both mint essential oils have little or no detectable cytotoxicity to RAW264.7 cells at the same measured concentrations up to 100 μg/mL.
