Stryphnodendron adstringens has been used by indigenous Brazilian people to treat wound, infections, inflammation and other conditions.This study aims to investigate the effect of S. adstringens on macrophage polarization.To prepare the hydroethanolic extract of Stryphnodendron adstringens (HESA), fresh bark was exposed to maceration, filtered and subsequently lyophilized. The extract HESA were analyzed by LC-DAD-MS to identify their constituents. Bone marrow cells were obtained from male C57BL/6 mice. Then, the cells were polarized into M1 or M2 subsets in the presence or absence of HESA. The membrane expression of TLR2, CD206, CCR7, class II MHC, and CD86, the intracellular expression of iNOS and IL-6 and the supernatant expression of IL-6 were determined by flow cytometry.By LC-DAD-MS, twenty-four compounds could be detected from HESA and proanthocyanidins, flavan-3-ols, and chromones were identified. NO and iNOS were reduced in the HESA-treated cells. There was a reduction in IL6 in HESA-treated cells. The membrane expression of TLR2, CD206, CCR7, CD86, and class II MHC was reduced in HESA-treated cells. The densities of CD206 and IL-10 were found to be significantly increased in HESA-treated cells.This work is the first to demonstrate that S. adstringens can modulate the functional polarization of macrophages into the M2 profile and suppress costimulatory molecules in M1 macrophages. These results corroborate with the ethnopharmacology use of S. adstringens, contributing to its pharmacological validation in wound treatment and expanding the knowledge about immunoregulatory action of this specie.
