%X Anti-inflammatory effect of <em>Cinnamomum longepaniculatum</em> essential oil on LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages inflammation was observed by MTT test and the content of NO. In vivo, anti-inflammatory activity was carried by checking carrageenan-induced rat paw swelling degree treated with <em>C.longepaniculatum</em> essential oil. The antioxidant capacity was determined by measuring DPPH&middot;radical scavenging ability. <em>C.longepaniculatum</em> essential oil can reduce the inhibition rate and NO production of the LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophage and it can also reduce carrageenan-induced rat paw swelling with dose-dependent manner. <em>C.longepaniculatum</em> essential oil can induce DPPH radical scavenging rate increased significantly, and the effect is more significant with time. Therefore, <em>C.longepaniculatum</em> oil has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity.
