Chronic inflammation is persistent disease caused by unregulated activation of Nf-kb pathway and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, induced by accumulation of reactive oxygen species above thresholds. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-oxidant, anti-lipidemia, inhibition Nf-kb pathway, and reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine activities of Ixeris dentata extract (IDE) to demonstrate its inhibitory ability against chronic inflammatory in RAW264.7. Polyphenol content, radical scavenging activity, and lipase activity inhibition of IDE were 9.2 ± 0.2 GAE mg/g dry matter, 84.7%, and 72.4%, respectively, showing high effects against anti-oxidant and lipolysis inhibitory. Furthermore, anti-inflammatory effects of IDE on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 were investigated, and expression of inflammatory genes such as Cox-2, Inos, Tnf-α, Il-6, Nf-kb, and Il-1β were decreased by 36.5%-83.4%. Studies have confirmed that IDE has excellent antioxidant, lipolysis inhibitory, and anti-inflammatory effects, and Ixeris dentata can be used as natural ingredients for food and medicine to prevent.
