Crude extracts obtained from the stem bark of Mahonia aquifolium have been investigated as tothe chemical composition and anticomplementary activity. The results show that their anticomplementary activity is mainly due to the alkaloid components. Especially the BBI alkaloid fraction andberberine showed a strong inhibitory effect on CH50 total hemolytic complement assay. The crudeextract of M. aquifolium was less active than berberine or the fraction BBI alkaloids. The resultsindicate that the fraction of BBI alkaloids and berberine largely account for the immunomodulatoryactivity of the crude extract of M. aquifolium.
Key words: Mahonia aquifolium – anticomplementary activity – berberine – fraction BBIalkaloids – crude extract
