Application
triptophenolide can remarkably inhibit the delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction induced by DNCB and BSA in vitro. It also could diminishe the peripheral blood ANAE+lymphocytes in rats and micc. It can significautly increase the amount of total serum complement and dramatically decrcase the serum antibody products (1gG ) of rats and mice.
