Several polyphloretin phosphate (PPP) fractions (low mol. wt LC1259; high mol. wt LC1261; crude mixture, LC101) were confirmed in their established property as antagonists of the pharmacological actions of prostaglandins in a preparation of guinea-pig isolated ileum stimulated by prostaglandin (PG)E2. Further samples of the same material were then compared in-vitro with indomethacin in their ability to inhibit prostaglandin biosynthesis from arachidonic acid by a microsomal enzyme preparation. All three PPP fractions potently inhibited prostaglandin generation, with the rank order of potency LC1259 = LC101 = indomethacin greater than LC1261. The oral LD50 in mice was 25 mg kg-1 for indomethacin and greater than 1 g kg-1 for LC101. PPP fractions (especially LC101) may therefore have therapeutic potential as anti-inflammatory agents.
