Technical Details & Test Data
- Efficacy Studies
Anti-inflammatory activity of the blend
In vitro studies demonstrated that Gastalagin® inhibits the release of IL-8 in GES-1 cells (normal human gastric epithelial cell line) previously infected by H. pylori; the eff ect is mediated by NF-kB, a nuclear transcription factor, that plays a key role in regulating the response to infection. Moreover, Cistus incanus has shown anti-adhesive properties.
Effect of Gastalagin® on the release of IL-8. ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001. IC50: 24.41 μg/ml.
Antibacterial activity of the blend
Antibacterial effect of Gastalagin®. *** p < 0.001. MIC 125 μg/ml
