The present invention relates to an anti-inflammatory composition containing docosahexaenoyl lysophosphatidylamine as an active ingredient. Particularly, one of polyunsaturated lysophosphatidylcholines, docosahexaenoyl lysophosphatidylcholine inhibits intracellular NO generation mediated by lipopolysaccharide and suppresses zymosan A induced peritonitis in vivo, suggesting that it has excellent anti-inflammatory effect but has no cytotoxicity, so that it can be effectively used for prevention and treatment of inflammatory disease. |
