The cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties of various folk medicine has been gaining attention as a strategy to combat various disease. This study aimed to assess the antineuroinflammatory&nbsp;properties of chloroform extract of in vitro Panax ginseng root culture based on nitric&nbsp;oxide and cytokines production.<br> <br> <em><strong>Methods:</strong></em> The study was initiated with the determination of maximum non-toxic dose (MNTD) of P.ginseng root culture chloroform extract using the MTT assay. The lipopolysaccharides-stimulated BV2&nbsp;microglia cells were treated with MNTD and &frac12;MNTD of the extract and its anti-neuroinflammatory<br> properties were assessed by measuring the production of nitric oxide (NO) via Griess assay, as well as TNF-&alpha;, IL-6 and IL-10 using Quantikine ELISA.<br> <br> <em><strong>Results:</strong></em> It was found that the MNTD and &frac12;MNTD of the extract did not play a significant role in the&nbsp;production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as NO, TNF-&alpha; and IL-6. However, the MNTD and&nbsp;&frac12;MNTD of chloroform extract significantly increased the anti-inflammatory IL-10 compared to the&nbsp;untreated cells.<br> <br> <em><strong>Conclusions:</strong></em> With this, the chloroform extract of P. ginseng root culture potentially exerts antineuroinflammatory&nbsp;properties.</div> Anti-inflammatory cytokines, Ginsenosides, Microglia cells, Neuroinflammation, Pro-inflammatory cytokines 125 137 http://rbmb.net/browse.php?a_code=A-10-894-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Chee Hoe Cheah 100319475328460012361 100319475328460012361 No Division of Applied Biomedical Sciences and Biotechnology, School of Health Sciences, International Medical University, Bukit Jalil, 57000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
