Anti-inflammatory activity test of triterpenoid saponin compounds

An in-vitro inflammation model is established by BV-2 (mouse microglia) induced by LPS (lipopolysaccharide), the influence of the compound on BV-2 inflammation medium NO induced by lipopolysaccharide is investigated by MTT and Griess experiments, and an anti-inflammatory drug Indomethacin (Indomethacin) is used as a positive control.

1. MTT assay

BV-2 cells are inoculated in a 96-well plate, after being cultured for 24 hours, a test sample to be tested is added, after being cultured for 24 hours, the inhibition rate of the sample on the tumor cell proliferation is measured by an MTT method, and the inhibition rate of the cell proliferation is (average value of OD values of a negative control group-average value of OD values of a sample group) ÷ (average value of OD values of a negative control group-average value of OD values of a blank control group) × 100 percent, and the half inhibition concentration (IC50) of the test sample is calculated by Calcuson software.
