  1. aThe inhibitory effects are represented as giving 50% inhibition (IC50) relative to the vehicle control. These data represent the average values of three repeated experiments (mean ± SD). IC50 values for selected extracts are given in column IL-12 p40, IL-6 and TNF-α. Values <100 μg/mL are considered to be active.
  2. bSB203580 was used as a positive control.
