Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disorder that is becoming increasingly prevalent. Experimental animal models have been an indispensable tool for studying its pathological mechanisms and for in vivo testing of novel therapeutic approaches. AD-like lesions can be induced experimentally in NC/Nga mice. Pedunculagin, an ellagitannin purified from the Manchurian alder, Alnus hirsuta var. microphylla, Betulaceae, is a novel immunomodulator. To evaluate the effect of pedunculagin for AD-like lesions in NC/Nga mice, using clinical and non-invasive methods. AD-like lesions were induced in NC/Nga mice using 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB). A cream containing 0.1% or 0.5% pedunculagin was applied to the positive treatment group, and the base cream without pedunculagin was applied to the negative treatment group. The control group did not receive any kind of topical agents. We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of pedunculagin for AD by statistical evaluation of the clinical severity score using non-invasive biomedical engineering tools before treatment, and 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks afterwards. An AD-like skin rash was successfully induced using TNCB in NC/Nga mice. The group receiving h...Continue Reading
