The present study aimed to evaluate the anti-allergic effect of byakkokakeishito extract (BKT), which consists of gypsum (natural hydrous calcium sulfate), Anemarrhena Rhizome (rhizome of <jats:italic>Anemarrhena asphodeloides<\/jats:italic>), Cinnamon Bark (bark of trunk of <jats:italic>Cinnamomum cassia<\/jats:italic>), Oriza Seed (seed of <jats:italic>Oryza sativa<\/jats:italic>), and Glycyrrhiza (root and stolon of <jats:italic>Glycyrrhiza uralensis<\/jats:italic>), and to clarify the role of gypsum in the formula. We prepared BKT by boiling a mixture of various quantities of gypsum and fixed amounts of the other four crude drugs in water. We evaluated the anti-allergic activity of the formulations using three different murine models of allergy: contact dermatitis induced by painting hapten onto skin; allergic dermatitis-like symptoms induced by cutaneous injection of mite-antigen; and skin passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction using ovalbumin as antigen. The calcium content in the various BKT samples was dose-dependently increased up to 60\u00a0g\/day of human dosage. BKT significantly suppressed the allergic symptoms in the three different experimental models. The effect of BKT was augmented by increasing the gypsum dosage only in the PCA reaction model. The extract prepared from a mixture of Anemarrhena Rhizome and gypsum exhibited an effect comparable to that of BKT. BKT exhibits an anti-allergic effect in several animal models, which may provide experimental evidence for the clinical use of BKT in allergic diseases. Gypsum may augment the anti-allergic activity of BKT, presumably through increasing intestinal absorption of Anemarrhena Rhizome-derived active constituents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11418-014-0827-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,19]],"date-time":"2014-02-19T12:02:05Z","timestamp":1392811325000},"page":"505-512","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Interaction of gypsum and the rhizome of Anemarrhena asphodeloides plays an important role in anti-allergic effects of byakkokakeishito in mice"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Toshiaki","family":"Makino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yusaku","family":"Shiraki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hajime","family":"Mizukami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"827_CR1","volume-title":"The Japanese pharmacopoeia","author":"The Society of Japanese Pharmacopoeia","year":"2012","unstructured":"The Society of Japanese Pharmacopoeia (2012) The Japanese pharmacopoeia, Sixteenth Edition (JP XVI) edn.
