Nettle Extract INCI Name Urtica Dioica Extract EINECS ELINCS No 281-685-5 CAS 84012-40-8 Urticae radix Extracts Nettle Root Extract photo picture image The proposed use of stinging nettle in the treatment of arthritis and inflammation may be due to components found in the extract of the root. A fraction of an aqueous extract containing polysaccharides demonstrated prolonged anti-inflammatory activity in the rat paw edema test. Some of the polysaccharides isolated from this fraction stimulated T-lymphocyte proliferation or influenced the complementary system. An ethanolic extract was found to potently suppress human leukocyte elastase (HLE). HLE is one of the most destructive enzymes released by polymorphonuclear granulocytes, which migrate into tissues during the inflammatory process. The water-soluble fraction of stinging nettle leaf extract (IDS 23 - Rheuma-Hek, Germany) demonstrated a dose dependent inhibition of phytohemagglutinin stimulated production of Th1-specific interleukin 2 and interferon-( in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In contrast, IDS 23 stimulated the production of Th2-specific interleukin 4. Inflammatory responses are primarily mediated by Th1 cells. IDS 23 has also demonstrated inhibition of leukotriene and prostaglandin syntheses, reduction of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in lipopolysaccharide stimulated human whole blood and inhibition of nuclear factor (B (NF-(B). The NF-(B family of transcription factors is critical for the inducible expression of many genes involved in inflammatory responses.
