In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oil (EO) obtained from the flowers of Abeliophyllum distichum, commonly known as white forsythia, was examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Thirty-five components including epoxy linalool, methyl salicylate, linalool oxide (pyranoid), and L-linalool were identified in the EO of A. distichum flowers (AfEO). In addition, the AfEO exhibited a remarkable anti-inflammatory effect in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. We found that this anti-inflammatory effect was mediated by inhibiting the expression of proinflammatory mediators, including IL-1?, IL-6, and IL-18. Taken together, these results confirm the potential use of the AfEO as an anti-inflammatory agent for topical application.
