dc.description.abstractBerberis darwinii H is a native plant of South America, popularly referred to Michay. This species has historically been used by indigenous cultures of Chile as medicinal herb. To preliminarily assess their anti-inflammatory effects was investigated the aqueous and methanolic root extract this plant in human monocytes. The results indicated that the extracts inhibit the production of superoxide anion, the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1-beta (IL-1 beta) in monocytes activated with lipopolysaccharide. This result suggests the existence of compounds with potential anti-inflammatory action in these extracts.
