Introduction. Benchalokawichian (BCW), a ai traditional herbal formulation, has long been used as antipyretic and to treat skin disorders. It comprises roots from five herbs: Ficus racemosa, Capparis micracantha, Clerodendrum petasites, Harrisonia perforata, and Tiliacora triandra. is polyherbal remedy has recently been included in the ailand National List of Essential Medicines (Herbal Products list). Methodology. A Bioassay-guided fractionation technique was used to evaluate antiallergy activities of crude extracts, and those obtained by the multistep column chromatography isolation of pure compounds. Inhibitory effect on the release of -hexosaminidase from RBL-2H3 cells was used to determine antiallergic activity. Results. Two pure compounds from BCW formulation showed higher antiallergic activity than crude or semipure extracts. Pectolinarigenin showed the highest antiallergic activity, followed by O-methylalloptaeroxylin, with IC 50 values of 6.3 g/mL and 14.16 g/mL, respectively. Moreover, the highest activities of pure compounds were significantly higher than chlorpheniramine (16.2 g/mL). Conclusions. is study provides some support for the use of BCW in reducing itching and treatment of other skin allergic disorders. e two isolated constituents exhibited high antiallergic activity and it is necessary to determine their mechanism of action. Further phytochemical and safety studies of pure compounds are required before development of these as antiallergy commercial remedies. 1. Introduction Allergic diseases are manifested as hyperresponsiveness to allergenic environmental substances in the various target organs of the body (skin, nose, lung, gastrointestinal tract, etc.) and involve both IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated components [1, 2]. Exposure to allergenic materials results in production, by B cells, of a multitude of antibodies, collec- tively called immunoglobulins (Ig) that are antigen-specific. e allergic reaction starts when immunoglobulin E binds to specific receptors (FcRI) on the surface of mast cells and basophils [3, 4], which in turn induces degranulation of the cells and release of mediators such as histamine, leukotrienes, serotonin, and platelet activating factors [57]. Histamine is the main cause of many of the symptoms of allergies, such as runny nose, sneezing, and itching. Histamine also contributes to the progression of allergic-inflammatory responses by enhancement of the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines [8]. Although antihistamines are the first drugs of choice for treatment of many types of allergic disorders, they do have certain side effects. A large proportion (70–95%) of the world’s population still relies on herbal medicines for primary health care [9]. erefore, there is a continuous search for newer and better drugs for allergy treatment, including evaluation of traditional herbal remedies [10].

1 Introduction

Allergic diseases are manifested as hyperresponsiveness toallergenic environmental substances in the various targetorgans of the body (skin nose lung gastrointestinal tractetc) and involve both IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediatedcomponents [1 2] Exposure to allergenic materials results inproduction by B cells of a multitude of antibodies collec-tively called immunoglobulins (Ig) that are antigen-specificThe allergic reaction starts when immunoglobulin E bindsto specific receptors (FcRI) on the surface of mast cells andbasophils [3 4] which in turn induces degranulation of thecells and release ofmediators such as histamine leukotrienes

suggested that the way to treat and prevent allergic diseases isto block the activity of IgE response [11ndash13]

Benchalokawichian (BCW) is aThai traditional medicineformulation containing parts from roots of five plants inequal amounts Ficus racemosa Linn (Moraceae) CapparismicracanthaDC (Capparidaceae) Clerodendrum petasites SMoore (Lamiaceae)Harrisonia perforataMerr (Simarouba-ceae) and Tiliacora triandra Diels (Menispermaceae) It haslong been used for relief of fever and to treat skin rashThis formulation is included in the Thailand National List ofEssential Medicines [14] It has also been used for preventionof influenza H1N1 infections and in recent years this remedyhas been used to treat acne skin rashes and other similar skindisorders

Thepolyherbal formulationBCWhas not been systemati-cally studied before but there are numerous previous reportson the chemical constituents of some individual plants in thisherbal remedy Harrisonia perforata leaves fruits brachesand roots were shown to contain several chromones limon-oids triterpenoids and prenylated polyketides including har-risotone AndashE haperforine A haperforine E 12-desacetylhap-erforine A haperforine C2 haperforine F haperforine GForitin harrisonol A peucenin-7-methylether O-methyla-lloptaeroxylin perforatic acid eugenin saikochromone Agreveichromenol and perforamoneAndashD [15] Other reportedconstituents are 120573-sitosterol obacunone herteropeucenin-7-methyl ether perforatic acid and harrisonin [16ndash19] harper-foratin harperfolide and harperamone [20] Tiliacora trian-dra has been reported to contain alkaloids especially bisben-zylisoquinoline alkaloids including tiliacorinine tiliacorinenortiliacorinine and others [21ndash23] Ficus racemosa has beenreported to contain tannins flavonoids coumarins phenoliccompounds glycosides and phytosterols [24 25]

Currently the antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activi-ties of BCWhave only been studied in vivo in rats [26 27]Theantimicrobial activity of ethanolic and water extracts of BCWhas recently been reported [28 29] There are no other invitro studies on antioxidant antiallergy or anti-inflammatoryactivities on BCW However a recent study on fruits of Hperforata has demonstrated that organic extracts exhibitedhigh antioxidant activity by the DPPH method but failed toshow any cytotoxicity against human myelogenous leukemia(K562) and human cancer (SGC-7901) cell lines in vitro bytheMTTmethod [30] Another report has also described theantioxidant activity in extracts of fruits ofH perforata by theDPPH method [31] The results of in vivo rats suggest thatH perforata bark aqueous extracts does not cause acute andsubchronic toxicities [32]

Benchalokawichian remedy has yet not been thoroughlystudied either in vitro or in vivo Its recent inclusion in theThailandNational List of EssentialMedicines has encouragedus to carry out systematic phytochemical and bioactivityassessment of crude extracts Singharachai et al studiedmor-phological characters including macroscopic microscopicexamination and pharmacognostic parameters and investi-gated 3D-HPLC fingerprint profile [33] We also report theuse of bioactivity-guided isolation of semipure and some pureconstituents from this polyherbal remedy In this preliminarystudy we have concentrated on antiallergic activity and

on limited number of pure compounds It is hoped thatfurthermore detailed studies of this type along with safetystudies in animals will provide data that may allow theinvestigation of its clinical efficacy in controlled clinical trialsfor some of the conditions it is currently used for inThailandbyThai Traditional medicine (TTM) practitioners

24 Preparation of Semipure Extracts and Isolation ofPure Compounds

241 Vacuum Liquid Chromatography (VLC) Bioassay-guided fractionation was used to isolate the pure com-pounds by the following modified method of Tewtrakuland Itharat [34] The BCW ethanolic extract (5046 g) wassubjected to silica vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC)using five solvent systems of increasing polarity hex-ane (1500mL) hexane chloroform (1 1 2000mL) chloro-form (2500mL) chloroform methanol (1 1 2500mL) andmethanol (2000mL)TheVLC columnwas packedwith silicagel 60 (mesh 230ndash400) the crude extract was applied ontop of the column then they were eluded with these fivedifferent solvents The solvent in each fraction (fractions 1ndash5) was removed by rotary evaporator (40∘C) and the drysemipure extract further dried to constant weight

242 Further Purification by Gravity Feed CC to Isolate PureCompound The fraction 3 (chloroform 502 g) which exhib-ited the highest antiallergy activity was rechromatographedby column chromatography (450 cm diameter and 54 cmlength) using silica gel G (70ndash230mesh) with gravity feed ofthe following solvents in sequence hexane chloroform (1 1500mL) chloroform (300mL) chloroform methanol (9 1500mL) chloroform methanol (1 1 200mL) methanol(300mL) Fractions (12mL) were collected during elutionwith each solvent (the first and the last fractions 500mLper each fraction were not collected) Each of total fractionscollected was examined by TLC

The fraction 12 (2826mg) was rechromatographed bycolumn chromatograph (375 cm times 54 cm) of silica gel gradenumbers 70ndash230mesh by eluting sequentially with sol-vents of increasing polarity hexane EtOAc (7 3 1000mL)hexane EtOAc (1 1 400mL) hexane EtOAc (3 7 300mL)EtOAc (700mL) EtOAc MeOH (1 1 100mL) and finallyMeOH (200mL) Fractions (5mL) were collected for eacheluting solvent and all fractions were examined by TLC(GF254

structure was described more than ten years ago researchon inhibitory effect against release of 120573-hexosaminidase inRBL-2H3 cell lines has not been described to date This istherefore the first report on antiallergic effect of compound 2

Pectolinarigenin (compound 1) had never been reportedin any of the constituent plants of BCW formulationHowever this compound has been isolated from severalother plant families Scrophulariaceae [36ndash38] Compositae[39ndash42] Bignoniaceae [43] Fabaceae [44] Verbenaceae orLamiaceae [45ndash49] Interestingly pectolinarigenin has beenisolated fromClerodendrum spp [46 47 49] related toC pet-asites a constituent plant of the BCW formulation In anotherstudy the ethyl acetate fraction of Cirsium chanroenicum(Compositae) also showed strong inhibition of COX-2-mediated PGE2 and 5-LOX-mediated LT production in vitroIt showed the same inhibitory effect in several animal modelsof inflammationallergy such as arachidonic acid-inducedmouse ear edema carrageenan-induced mouse paw edemaand passive cutaneous anaphylaxis [39] Pectolinarigenin hasalso been shown to have hepatoprotective activity in a ratmodel of hepatic injury caused by D-galactosamine (GalN)mainly via SOD antioxidant mechanism [40] Inflammationmediators and reactive free radicals do have a role inthe pathophysiology of allergic disorders and thereforeanti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds often exhibitantiallergic activities

The study on TLC chromatogram of two compounds(Figure 3) we found that compound 1 (pectolinarigenin) ispresented onH perforata whereas compound 2 (O-methyla-lloptaeroxylin) is presented on C petasites in the same asprevious reviews Both of pure compounds show exhibitedhigher antiallergic activity than all fractions BLWextract andpositive control represented in Figure 4 This preliminarystudy provides some supports for the use of BCW fortreatment of allergic skin rash in Thai traditional medicineThis is the first report on the two isolated compounds fromBCW ethanolic extract and their antiallergic activities Theethanolic extract of BCW could be further developed into

suggested that the way to treat and prevent allergic diseases isto block the activity of IgE response [11ndash13]

Benchalokawichian (BCW) is aThai traditional medicineformulation containing parts from roots of five plants inequal amounts Ficus racemosa Linn (Moraceae) CapparismicracanthaDC (Capparidaceae) Clerodendrum petasites SMoore (Lamiaceae)Harrisonia perforataMerr (Simarouba-ceae) and Tiliacora triandra Diels (Menispermaceae) It haslong been used for relief of fever and to treat skin rashThis formulation is included in the Thailand National List ofEssential Medicines [14] It has also been used for preventionof influenza H1N1 infections and in recent years this remedyhas been used to treat acne skin rashes and other similar skindisorders

Thepolyherbal formulationBCWhas not been systemati-cally studied before but there are numerous previous reportson the chemical constituents of some individual plants in thisherbal remedy Harrisonia perforata leaves fruits brachesand roots were shown to contain several chromones limon-oids triterpenoids and prenylated polyketides including har-risotone AndashE haperforine A haperforine E 12-desacetylhap-erforine A haperforine C2 haperforine F haperforine GForitin harrisonol A peucenin-7-methylether O-methyla-lloptaeroxylin perforatic acid eugenin saikochromone Agreveichromenol and perforamoneAndashD [15] Other reportedconstituents are 120573-sitosterol obacunone herteropeucenin-7-methyl ether perforatic acid and harrisonin [16ndash19] harper-foratin harperfolide and harperamone [20] Tiliacora trian-dra has been reported to contain alkaloids especially bisben-zylisoquinoline alkaloids including tiliacorinine tiliacorinenortiliacorinine and others [21ndash23] Ficus racemosa has beenreported to contain tannins flavonoids coumarins phenoliccompounds glycosides and phytosterols [24 25]

Currently the antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activi-ties of BCWhave only been studied in vivo in rats [26 27]Theantimicrobial activity of ethanolic and water extracts of BCWhas recently been reported [28 29] There are no other invitro studies on antioxidant antiallergy or anti-inflammatoryactivities on BCW However a recent study on fruits of Hperforata has demonstrated that organic extracts exhibitedhigh antioxidant activity by the DPPH method but failed toshow any cytotoxicity against human myelogenous leukemia(K562) and human cancer (SGC-7901) cell lines in vitro bytheMTTmethod [30] Another report has also described theantioxidant activity in extracts of fruits ofH perforata by theDPPH method [31] The results of in vivo rats suggest thatH perforata bark aqueous extracts does not cause acute andsubchronic toxicities [32]

Benchalokawichian remedy has yet not been thoroughlystudied either in vitro or in vivo Its recent inclusion in theThailandNational List of EssentialMedicines has encouragedus to carry out systematic phytochemical and bioactivityassessment of crude extracts Singharachai et al studiedmor-phological characters including macroscopic microscopicexamination and pharmacognostic parameters and investi-gated 3D-HPLC fingerprint profile [33] We also report theuse of bioactivity-guided isolation of semipure and some pureconstituents from this polyherbal remedy In this preliminarystudy we have concentrated on antiallergic activity and

on limited number of pure compounds It is hoped thatfurthermore detailed studies of this type along with safetystudies in animals will provide data that may allow theinvestigation of its clinical efficacy in controlled clinical trialsfor some of the conditions it is currently used for inThailandbyThai Traditional medicine (TTM) practitioners

to constant weight in a vacuum desiccator All extracts werekept at minus20∘C until required for further use

24 Preparation of Semipure Extracts and Isolation ofPure Compounds

241 Vacuum Liquid Chromatography (VLC) Bioassay-guided fractionation was used to isolate the pure com-pounds by the following modified method of Tewtrakuland Itharat [34] The BCW ethanolic extract (5046 g) wassubjected to silica vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC)using five solvent systems of increasing polarity hex-ane (1500mL) hexane chloroform (1 1 2000mL) chloro-form (2500mL) chloroform methanol (1 1 2500mL) andmethanol (2000mL)TheVLC columnwas packedwith silicagel 60 (mesh 230ndash400) the crude extract was applied ontop of the column then they were eluded with these fivedifferent solvents The solvent in each fraction (fractions 1ndash5) was removed by rotary evaporator (40∘C) and the drysemipure extract further dried to constant weight

242 Further Purification by Gravity Feed CC to Isolate PureCompound The fraction 3 (chloroform 502 g) which exhib-ited the highest antiallergy activity was rechromatographedby column chromatography (450 cm diameter and 54 cmlength) using silica gel G (70ndash230mesh) with gravity feed ofthe following solvents in sequence hexane chloroform (1 1500mL) chloroform (300mL) chloroform methanol (9 1500mL) chloroform methanol (1 1 200mL) methanol(300mL) Fractions (12mL) were collected during elutionwith each solvent (the first and the last fractions 500mLper each fraction were not collected) Each of total fractionscollected was examined by TLC

The fraction 12 (2826mg) was rechromatographed bycolumn chromatograph (375 cm times 54 cm) of silica gel gradenumbers 70ndash230mesh by eluting sequentially with sol-vents of increasing polarity hexane EtOAc (7 3 1000mL)hexane EtOAc (1 1 400mL) hexane EtOAc (3 7 300mL)EtOAc (700mL) EtOAc MeOH (1 1 100mL) and finallyMeOH (200mL) Fractions (5mL) were collected for eacheluting solvent and all fractions were examined by TLC(GF254

4 Discussion and Conclusions

This study has isolated for the first time two pure com-pounds from the ethanolic extract of BCW formulation and

identified them as pectolinarigenin (compound 1) and O-methylalloptaeroxylin (compound 2) which have not pre-sented on 3D-HPLC chromatogram in previous study [33]Compound 2 has previously been isolated from branches ofH perforata [36 37] In a recent studyChoodej et al [20] haveinvestigated the effects of compound 2 on NO productionin LPS- stimulated macrophages and showed it had potentactivity with IC

50value of 6641 plusmn 521120583M Although this

structure was described more than ten years ago researchon inhibitory effect against release of 120573-hexosaminidase inRBL-2H3 cell lines has not been described to date This istherefore the first report on antiallergic effect of compound 2

Pectolinarigenin (compound 1) had never been reportedin any of the constituent plants of BCW formulationHowever this compound has been isolated from severalother plant families Scrophulariaceae [36ndash38] Compositae[39ndash42] Bignoniaceae [43] Fabaceae [44] Verbenaceae orLamiaceae [45ndash49] Interestingly pectolinarigenin has beenisolated fromClerodendrum spp [46 47 49] related toC pet-asites a constituent plant of the BCW formulation In anotherstudy the ethyl acetate fraction of Cirsium chanroenicum(Compositae) also showed strong inhibition of COX-2-mediated PGE2 and 5-LOX-mediated LT production in vitroIt showed the same inhibitory effect in several animal modelsof inflammationallergy such as arachidonic acid-inducedmouse ear edema carrageenan-induced mouse paw edemaand passive cutaneous anaphylaxis [39] Pectolinarigenin hasalso been shown to have hepatoprotective activity in a ratmodel of hepatic injury caused by D-galactosamine (GalN)mainly via SOD antioxidant mechanism [40] Inflammationmediators and reactive free radicals do have a role inthe pathophysiology of allergic disorders and thereforeanti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds often exhibitantiallergic activities

The study on TLC chromatogram of two compounds(Figure 3) we found that compound 1 (pectolinarigenin) ispresented onH perforata whereas compound 2 (O-methyla-lloptaeroxylin) is presented on C petasites in the same asprevious reviews Both of pure compounds show exhibitedhigher antiallergic activity than all fractions BLWextract andpositive control represented in Figure 4 This preliminarystudy provides some supports for the use of BCW fortreatment of allergic skin rash in Thai traditional medicineThis is the first report on the two isolated compounds fromBCW ethanolic extract and their antiallergic activities Theethanolic extract of BCW could be further developed into

24 Preparation of Semipure Extracts and Isolation ofPure Compounds

241 Vacuum Liquid Chromatography (VLC) Bioassay-guided fractionation was used to isolate the pure com-pounds by the following modified method of Tewtrakuland Itharat [34] The BCW ethanolic extract (5046 g) wassubjected to silica vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC)using five solvent systems of increasing polarity hex-ane (1500mL) hexane chloroform (1 1 2000mL) chloro-form (2500mL) chloroform methanol (1 1 2500mL) andmethanol (2000mL)TheVLC columnwas packedwith silicagel 60 (mesh 230ndash400) the crude extract was applied ontop of the column then they were eluded with these fivedifferent solvents The solvent in each fraction (fractions 1ndash5) was removed by rotary evaporator (40∘C) and the drysemipure extract further dried to constant weight

242 Further Purification by Gravity Feed CC to Isolate PureCompound The fraction 3 (chloroform 502 g) which exhib-ited the highest antiallergy activity was rechromatographedby column chromatography (450 cm diameter and 54 cmlength) using silica gel G (70ndash230mesh) with gravity feed ofthe following solvents in sequence hexane chloroform (1 1500mL) chloroform (300mL) chloroform methanol (9 1500mL) chloroform methanol (1 1 200mL) methanol(300mL) Fractions (12mL) were collected during elutionwith each solvent (the first and the last fractions 500mLper each fraction were not collected) Each of total fractionscollected was examined by TLC

The fraction 12 (2826mg) was rechromatographed bycolumn chromatograph (375 cm times 54 cm) of silica gel gradenumbers 70ndash230mesh by eluting sequentially with sol-vents of increasing polarity hexane EtOAc (7 3 1000mL)hexane EtOAc (1 1 400mL) hexane EtOAc (3 7 300mL)EtOAc (700mL) EtOAc MeOH (1 1 100mL) and finallyMeOH (200mL) Fractions (5mL) were collected for eacheluting solvent and all fractions were examined by TLC(GF254

)

243 Identification of Compounds 1 and 2 TLC (silica gel 60GF254

aluminium sheets Merck) were used to demonstratethe purity of compounds with three different solvent systemsof varying polarity and detection with anisaldehyde reagentThe structures of the isolated compounds were determinedby their NMR data [1H and 13C on a Varian Unity Inova500 spectrometer (500MHz for 1H 125MHz for 13C)] UVspectra [SPECORD S 100 (Analytikjena) spectrometer] andESImass spectra bothHRMSandLRMSwere obtained froma Agilent Technologies 1200 Binary LC System coupled to aBruker microtof mass spectrometer

25 Determination of Antiallergic Activity Inhibitory effectson the release of 120573-hexosaminidase from Rat BasophilicLeukemia cell line (RBL-2H3) were evaluated by the fol-lowing modified method [35] RBL-2H3 cells were cultured

in MEM medium supplemented with 15 fetal bovineserum (FBS) penicillin (100 unitsmL) and streptomycin(100 120583gmL) The cells were seeded in 24-wells plate (5 times105 cellsmL) and incubated to adhere at 37∘C in 5 CO

2for

15 hour RBL-2H3 cells were sensitized with anti-DNP IgE(antidinitrophenyl-immunoglobulin E) (045 120583gmL) andincubated at 37∘C in 5 CO

2for 24 h The cells were washed

4 Discussion and Conclusions

This study has isolated for the first time two pure com-pounds from the ethanolic extract of BCW formulation and

identified them as pectolinarigenin (compound 1) and O-methylalloptaeroxylin (compound 2) which have not pre-sented on 3D-HPLC chromatogram in previous study [33]Compound 2 has previously been isolated from branches ofH perforata [36 37] In a recent studyChoodej et al [20] haveinvestigated the effects of compound 2 on NO productionin LPS- stimulated macrophages and showed it had potentactivity with IC

50value of 6641 plusmn 521120583M Although this

structure was described more than ten years ago researchon inhibitory effect against release of 120573-hexosaminidase inRBL-2H3 cell lines has not been described to date This istherefore the first report on antiallergic effect of compound 2

Pectolinarigenin (compound 1) had never been reportedin any of the constituent plants of BCW formulationHowever this compound has been isolated from severalother plant families Scrophulariaceae [36ndash38] Compositae[39ndash42] Bignoniaceae [43] Fabaceae [44] Verbenaceae orLamiaceae [45ndash49] Interestingly pectolinarigenin has beenisolated fromClerodendrum spp [46 47 49] related toC pet-asites a constituent plant of the BCW formulation In anotherstudy the ethyl acetate fraction of Cirsium chanroenicum(Compositae) also showed strong inhibition of COX-2-mediated PGE2 and 5-LOX-mediated LT production in vitroIt showed the same inhibitory effect in several animal modelsof inflammationallergy such as arachidonic acid-inducedmouse ear edema carrageenan-induced mouse paw edemaand passive cutaneous anaphylaxis [39] Pectolinarigenin hasalso been shown to have hepatoprotective activity in a ratmodel of hepatic injury caused by D-galactosamine (GalN)mainly via SOD antioxidant mechanism [40] Inflammationmediators and reactive free radicals do have a role inthe pathophysiology of allergic disorders and thereforeanti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds often exhibitantiallergic activities

The study on TLC chromatogram of two compounds(Figure 3) we found that compound 1 (pectolinarigenin) ispresented onH perforata whereas compound 2 (O-methyla-lloptaeroxylin) is presented on C petasites in the same asprevious reviews Both of pure compounds show exhibitedhigher antiallergic activity than all fractions BLWextract andpositive control represented in Figure 4 This preliminarystudy provides some supports for the use of BCW fortreatment of allergic skin rash in Thai traditional medicineThis is the first report on the two isolated compounds fromBCW ethanolic extract and their antiallergic activities Theethanolic extract of BCW could be further developed into

4 Discussion and Conclusions

This study has isolated for the first time two pure com-pounds from the ethanolic extract of BCW formulation and

identified them as pectolinarigenin (compound 1) and O-methylalloptaeroxylin (compound 2) which have not pre-sented on 3D-HPLC chromatogram in previous study [33]Compound 2 has previously been isolated from branches ofH perforata [36 37] In a recent studyChoodej et al [20] haveinvestigated the effects of compound 2 on NO productionin LPS- stimulated macrophages and showed it had potentactivity with IC

50value of 6641 plusmn 521120583M Although this

structure was described more than ten years ago researchon inhibitory effect against release of 120573-hexosaminidase inRBL-2H3 cell lines has not been described to date This istherefore the first report on antiallergic effect of compound 2

Pectolinarigenin (compound 1) had never been reportedin any of the constituent plants of BCW formulationHowever this compound has been isolated from severalother plant families Scrophulariaceae [36ndash38] Compositae[39ndash42] Bignoniaceae [43] Fabaceae [44] Verbenaceae orLamiaceae [45ndash49] Interestingly pectolinarigenin has beenisolated fromClerodendrum spp [46 47 49] related toC pet-asites a constituent plant of the BCW formulation In anotherstudy the ethyl acetate fraction of Cirsium chanroenicum(Compositae) also showed strong inhibition of COX-2-mediated PGE2 and 5-LOX-mediated LT production in vitroIt showed the same inhibitory effect in several animal modelsof inflammationallergy such as arachidonic acid-inducedmouse ear edema carrageenan-induced mouse paw edemaand passive cutaneous anaphylaxis [39] Pectolinarigenin hasalso been shown to have hepatoprotective activity in a ratmodel of hepatic injury caused by D-galactosamine (GalN)mainly via SOD antioxidant mechanism [40] Inflammationmediators and reactive free radicals do have a role inthe pathophysiology of allergic disorders and thereforeanti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds often exhibitantiallergic activities

The study on TLC chromatogram of two compounds(Figure 3) we found that compound 1 (pectolinarigenin) ispresented onH perforata whereas compound 2 (O-methyla-lloptaeroxylin) is presented on C petasites in the same asprevious reviews Both of pure compounds show exhibitedhigher antiallergic activity than all fractions BLWextract andpositive control represented in Figure 4 This preliminarystudy provides some supports for the use of BCW fortreatment of allergic skin rash in Thai traditional medicineThis is the first report on the two isolated compounds fromBCW ethanolic extract and their antiallergic activities Theethanolic extract of BCW could be further developed into

4 Discussion and Conclusions

This study has isolated for the first time two pure com-pounds from the ethanolic extract of BCW formulation and

identified them as pectolinarigenin (compound 1) and O-methylalloptaeroxylin (compound 2) which have not pre-sented on 3D-HPLC chromatogram in previous study [33]Compound 2 has previously been isolated from branches ofH perforata [36 37] In a recent studyChoodej et al [20] haveinvestigated the effects of compound 2 on NO productionin LPS- stimulated macrophages and showed it had potentactivity with IC

50value of 6641 plusmn 521120583M Although this

structure was described more than ten years ago researchon inhibitory effect against release of 120573-hexosaminidase inRBL-2H3 cell lines has not been described to date This istherefore the first report on antiallergic effect of compound 2

Pectolinarigenin (compound 1) had never been reportedin any of the constituent plants of BCW formulationHowever this compound has been isolated from severalother plant families Scrophulariaceae [36ndash38] Compositae[39ndash42] Bignoniaceae [43] Fabaceae [44] Verbenaceae orLamiaceae [45ndash49] Interestingly pectolinarigenin has beenisolated fromClerodendrum spp [46 47 49] related toC pet-asites a constituent plant of the BCW formulation In anotherstudy the ethyl acetate fraction of Cirsium chanroenicum(Compositae) also showed strong inhibition of COX-2-mediated PGE2 and 5-LOX-mediated LT production in vitroIt showed the same inhibitory effect in several animal modelsof inflammationallergy such as arachidonic acid-inducedmouse ear edema carrageenan-induced mouse paw edemaand passive cutaneous anaphylaxis [39] Pectolinarigenin hasalso been shown to have hepatoprotective activity in a ratmodel of hepatic injury caused by D-galactosamine (GalN)mainly via SOD antioxidant mechanism [40] Inflammationmediators and reactive free radicals do have a role inthe pathophysiology of allergic disorders and thereforeanti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds often exhibitantiallergic activities

The study on TLC chromatogram of two compounds(Figure 3) we found that compound 1 (pectolinarigenin) ispresented onH perforata whereas compound 2 (O-methyla-lloptaeroxylin) is presented on C petasites in the same asprevious reviews Both of pure compounds show exhibitedhigher antiallergic activity than all fractions BLWextract andpositive control represented in Figure 4 This preliminarystudy provides some supports for the use of BCW fortreatment of allergic skin rash in Thai traditional medicineThis is the first report on the two isolated compounds fromBCW ethanolic extract and their antiallergic activities Theethanolic extract of BCW could be further developed into
