However, there are few studies on its impact of inflammatory cytokines. This study explored the effects of Aconitum kusnezoffii in vitro used human colon cancer (Caco-2) cells. Cytotoxicity was assessed by measuring effects on expression of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In vitro study demonstrated that incubation of Caco-2 cells with some kinds of Aconitum kusnezoffii at some concentrations inhibit secretion of TNF-α and FAXIU ACONITUM KUSNEZOFFII could inhibit the secretion of IL-1β. While IL-6 and IL-8 levels were unaffected after 24 h of treatment with Aconitum kusnezoffii, qujian Aconitum kusnezoffii, faxiu Aconitum kusnezoffii.
