title: [Anti-inflammatory activity of the dry distillation tar of delipidated soybean (Glyteer) (3). Effects on type I-type IV allergic reaction].
abstract: Effects of Glyteer (GL, 5%) on Type I-Type IV allergic reactions were investigated by its topical application to rats and mice, and the effects were compared with those of betamethasone 17-valerate (BV, 0.12%), indomethacin (ID, 1%), and bufexamac (BM, 5%), which were all prepared with the same ointment base. Type I: GL showed inhibitory effects on the 48 hr homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in rats. The inhibitory activity of GL on the PCA had the same potency as that of BV (0.12%). GL also inhibited the degranulation of mast cells induced by PCA. Type II: GL did not exert an inhibitory effect on the reversed cutaneous anaphylaxis (RCA) in rats, but BM, ID and BV had an inhibitory activity on the RCA. Type III: BV markedly inhibited the direct passive Arthus reaction in rats. On the other hand, GL, BM and ID had not an inhibitory activity on it. Type IV: GL (0.2, 1 and 5%) showed a concentration-dependent inhibition on the delayed-type hypersensitivity response induced by oxazolone in mice, and the activity was stronger than those of ID and BM. From these results, it is suggested that GL applied externally possesses a potent effect as an anti-allergic drug on Type I and Type IV allergic reactions.
