AGENT FOR TREATING INFLAMMATION COMPRISING THE EXTRACTS OF CORDYCEPS MILITARIS

摘要

An anti-inflammatory agent comprising cordyceps militaris extracts as an active ingredient is provided to suppress an inflammation-inducing material through the route of PI3k/AKT/IkB and the route of suppressing phosphorylation of p38 by using butanol fraction of methanol extract and cordycepin purified therefrom. A method for manufacturing butanol fraction for treating inflammation from Cordyceps militaris comprises the steps of: (a) melting methanol extract of Cordyceps militaris in water; (b) fractionating hexane, butanol, ethylacetate and water; and (c) removing solvent by decompressing the butanol fraction.
