Madi-Ryuk (MDR) is a traditional Korean medicine and it has been widely used in Korea to treat arthritis and we previously reported the anti-allergic inflammatory effect of MDR in vitro model. However, therapeutic evidence of MDR on in vivo model of allergic inflammatory reaction has not yet been demonstrated. The research purpose was to investigate the efficacy of MDR and its active ingredient tannic acid (TA) in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced AR mice model. OVA-challenged AR mice orally medicated MDR or its active ingredient TA daily for ten days. In mice having a AR, MDR and TA prominently diminished number of rubs and levels of histamine, IgE, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-33, and tumor necrosis factor-α. In addition, protein expression levels and activities of caspase-1 were declined by oral medication of MDR and TA. Decline in levels of macrophage inflammatory protein-2 and intercellular adhesion molecules-1 and reduction in penetrations of inflammatory cells into inflamed tissue were also noted in MDR and TA groups. Taken together, identification of MDR effect in preclinical models suggests that MDR may be a therapeutic drug for the treatment and prevention of AR.
