Dithymoquinone, thymohydroquinone, thymol and thymoquinone, the compounds derived from N. sativa seeds, were investigated for their in vitro anti-inflammatory activities using cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and-2 (COX-2) assays. Thymol was the most active against COX-1 with IC50 value of 0.2 .mu.M, while thymohydroquinone and thymoquinone exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect on COX-2 with IC50 values of 0.1 and 0.3 .mu.M, respectively.
