Anti-allergic contact dermatitis (anti-ACD)\/anti-atopic dermatitis (anti-AD) activities (visual observation and regulation of Th1\/Th2 cytokines and IgE in blood) of FAS and the barks of Alnus sibirica extract (AS) and the two diarylheptanoids, hirsutenone (1) and muricarpon B (2), which are major components of FAS, were measured in vitro and in vivo. FAS, AS and the two compounds showed potent anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-ACD and anti-AD activity. In particular, FAS showed more potent biological activity than AS. Thus, fermentation might be a prominent way to enhance the biological activity compared with the original plant. In addition, compounds (1) and (2) might be developed as functional materials or herbal medicines for ACD and AD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules23020450","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,20]],"date-time":"2018-02-20T03:54:22Z","timestamp":1519098862000},"page":"450","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Inhibitory Activity of Allergic Contact Dermatitis and Atopic Dermatitis-Like Skin in BALB\/c Mouse through Oral Administration of Fermented Barks of Alnus sibirica"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Jun","family":"Yin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacognosy and Natural Product based Medicine, College of Pharmacy, Chung-Ang University, Seoul 156-756, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seong Hye","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacognosy and Natural Product based Medicine, College of Pharmacy, Chung-Ang University, Seoul 156-756, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hye Shin","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacognosy and Natural Product based Medicine, College of Pharmacy, Chung-Ang University, Seoul 156-756, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Min Won","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacognosy and Natural Product based Medicine, College of Pharmacy, Chung-Ang University, Seoul 156-756, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"733","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(06)69283-0","article-title":"ISAAC Phase Three Study Group.
