This invention includes a composition of Agastache rugosa and tilianin
obtained by separation-purification for anti-inflammation and
anti-atherosclerosis, and more particularly, an extract of Agastache
rugosa and tilianin obtained therefrom by separation-purification which
are effective in preventing and treating not only inflammatory diseases
but also atherosclerosis related to inflammatory responses and disease in
the circulatory system caused by atherosclerosis because they are
excellent in inhibiting the activity of complement systems as a factor of
inflammatory responses, the expression of intercellular adhesion
molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecular-1 (VCAM-1), and
the production of nitric oxide (NO). They can also significantly reduce
the development of atherosclerosis due to the inflammatory response.
