Ohyaksungisan, combined preparation of crude drugs, has been used for hemiplegia, arthralgia and paralysis in traditional Korean medicine. The anti-inflammatory activity of the aqueous extract from Ohyaksungisan(OSSE) was investigated on acetic acid-induced edema and adjuvant arthritis in rats. Acute toxicity and analgesic action in mice were also examined. Its anti-inflammatory activity on 5% acetic acid-induced edema and adjuvant arthritis was observed with oral administration. The acute toxicity showed 10% mortality at 2400 mg/kg (p.o), but was not showed at 1200 mg/kg (i.p). OSSE was showed to have significant analgesic action (P<0.05) at 150 mg/kg and this action was strengthened at 300, 600 mg/kg. The anti-inflammatory effect was showed significant preventive effect on the hind paw edema from 90 min. and the adjuvant arthritis, when orally administered for 19 days. showed significant inhibitory effect on the hind paw edema from the 5th day.
