Abstract: In order to study the analgesia, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of ethyl acetate fraction from the root bark of Acanthopanax trifoliatus(BLE), the analgesia and anti-inflammatory effects of BLE were investigated by hot plate pain method, acetic acid writhing method, xylene-induced mouse ear swelling method, carrageenan-induced mouse paw swelling method and prostaglandin E2(PGE2) content determination. The antioxidant activities of BLE were evaluated by DPPH free radical method and ABTS free radical method. The results showed that compared with the blank group, the pain threshold of each BLE dose group at 60 min was significantly or extremely significantly increased, compared with before medication, the pain threshold of each dose group at each time point was significantly or extremely significantly increased and the difference in the pain threshold of each dose group and tripterygium glycosides tablet group were not significantly indigenous. Compared with the blank group, the writhing times of mice in each dose group were extremely significantly reduced; each dose group could significantly or extremely significantly reduce the ear swelling induced by xylene and there was no significant difference in ear swelling between each dose group and tripterygium glycosides tablets group; the high-dose group could extramely significantly reduce the paw swelling induced by carrageenan, and compared with the tripterygium glycosides tablets group, the paw swelling degrees in each dose group showed no significant difference. Compared with the blank group, the content of PGE2 in high-dose and medium-dose groups was extremely significantly decreased. Compared with the tripterygium glycoside tablet group, there was no significant difference in PGE2 content in high and medium dose groups. The clearance rate of PDDH free radical by BLE was positively correlated with the increase of concentration, with IC50 of 0.029 mg/ml, which was lower than that of the positive control vitamin C (0.04 mg/mL). The clearance rate of ABTS free radical was positively correlated with the increase of concentration, with IC50 of 0.033 mg/mL, which was lower than that of the positive control vitamin C (0.042 mg/mL).
