Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Animal model: 2, 4-Dinitrochlorobenzene-Induced Atopic-like Dermatitis in BALB/c Mice. Dosage: 3 or 10 mg/kg. Administration: i.p. Result: Reduced the severity of the AD-like symptoms. Attenuated the increase in ear thickness and decreased cutaneous TEWL in DNCB-treated mice. Animal model: Ethanol-induced gastric injury in rats. Dosage: 200 mg/kg. Administration: i. g. Result: Reduced injuries associated with the administration of ethanol, gastric juice acidity and the formation of MDA and increased CAT activity and SOD activity and the level of NO and PGE-2 in a dose-depended manner. Increased the expression of both Nrf2 and HO-1.
