Abstract: Triptonide (Tri)extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook inhibited the proliferation of mouse splenocytes induced by suboptimal concentration of concanavalin A or Lipoplysaccharide at concentrations of 0.02, 0.10,and 0.50 mg/L.Although allergic contact dermatitis to dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) was inhibited by Tri 1.0, 2.0,and 5.0 mg/kg(ip,qd×5d),the splenocyte interleukin-2 secretion activity of these mouse was not suppressed.The data indicates that Tri has suppressive effects on mouse immune functions and may be used as a potent immunosppressive agents.

Key words: triptonide, allergic contact dermatitis, lymphocytes, interleukin-2, mice
