PURPOSE:To obtain an anti-inflammatory agent effective for suppressing inflammations, having low toxicity, containing an extract of fruit body or cell of Heterobasidiae as an active ingredient. CONSTITUTION:An anti-inflammatory agent containing an extracted component of fruit body or cell of Heterobasidiae (e.g. Auricularia auricula-judae, A. polytricha, A. mesenterica, etc.) as an active ingredient. The active ingredients of the extracted components are mainly all polysaccharides. The polysaccharides are xylose, mannose, glucuronic acid, etc., in the case of Auricularia auricula- judae. The extracted components are purified by an ordinary purification of protein removal or may be directly used. The extracted components of Auricularia auricula-judae are blended with various drug bases in liquid state, creamy state, etc., and used as an anti-inflammatory drug. The blending ratio of the extracted components used is preferably 0.001-20.0wt.% based on a base such as drug base, cosmetic base, etc., when the lyophilized extracted components are used.
