The Study On The Effect Of Chungsang bangpungtang and Lonicerae Flos, Coicis Semen (CBTLC) On Acnes

This study was carried out to prove the effects of CBTLC on the -reductase inhibition, the sterilizing power for Propionibactrium acnes, the cytotoxicity of human monocyte, the inhibition for prosta-glandins(), Interleukins(IL-) and TNF- in inflammation, and the size of Hamster ear sebaceous gland concerned with Acnes. The result were obtained as follows : 1. On the -reductase inhibition of CBTLC in vitro, An undiluted solution of CBTLC was inhibition on -reductase and diluted solution of CBTLC was inhibition on -reductase. 2. On the sterilizing power for Propionibactrium acnes concerned in Acnes, an undiluted solution and diluted solution of CBTLC formed 12mm clear zone diameters. 3. CBTLC was showed the cytotoxicity of human monocyte in and of CBTLC. 4. and of CBTLC inhibited the production of prostaglandins() in the human monocyte stimulated with P. acnes LPS. 5. and downward of GMHBS inhibited the production of interleukins(lL-) in the human monocyte stimulated with P. acnes LPS. 6. and of GMHBS inhihited the production of TNF- in the human monocyte stimulated with P. acnes LPS. 7. As the antiandrogenic compound, CBTLC was used in hamster ears with topical application. CBTLC was diminished slightly on the size of hamster ears sebaceous gland.
