1. It was investigated whether an extract of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f (TW) inhibits IL-1 production by monocytes and suppresses the development of IL-1-dependent arthritis induced in rats with streptococcal cell wall and adjuvant. 2. TW preferentially inhibited IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta production by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human monocytes with IC50 of approximately 1 microgram/ml. 3. Oral administration of TW dose-dependently suppressed joint swelling and structural damage in streptococcal cell wall-induced arthritis (ED50 = 20 mg/kg/day) and in adjuvant-induced arthritis (ED50 = 46 mg/kg/day for developing and 8 mg/kg/day for established arthritis).
