Abstract

The protective effect of water-soluble TS-13 monophenol inducing the antioxidant-responsive element (ARE) system was studied on the models of acute inflammation. Intragastric administration of TS-13 to rats significantly reduced the severity of acute aseptic inflammation induced by intravenous injection of zymosan particles: granulocyte blood count and volume density of infiltrates in the liver decreased on day 3, spontaneous production of activated oxygen metabolites and respiratory burst in blood granulocytes decreased on days 2 and 3. A single dose of TS-13 improved survival of mice with endotoxin shock induced by intraperitoneal injection of E. coli LPS. These results confirmed high anti-inflammatory activity of TS-13.
