Anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive properties of Potentilla erecta - A traditional medicinal plant from the northern hemisphere
Abstract
Potentilla erecta (tormentil), traditionally used for inflammatory skin and mucosal disorders, strongly reduced IL-6, prostaglandin E2 and NF-kappaB activation in keratinocytes and showed a blanching (vasoconstrictive) effect comparable to hydrocortisone via NO scavenging and eNOS inhibition, supporting topical treatment of inflammatory skin disorders.
