The goal of this study was to establish function of the larvae via analysis of anti-inflammatory effect from Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis larvae. As a result of extraction depending on each solvent, the methanol extract showed the highest anti-inflammatory activity. Although all the fractions obtained from fractionation according to methanol concentration were detected by higher activities, especially, the activity was highly detected in both the supernatant and precipitated pellet of 50% methanol concentration. As the results of partition in organic solvents with 50% methanol fraction, the activity was detected in water phases of both chloroform and ethyl acetate from the supernatant and precipitated pellet of 50% methanol concentration. Therefore, since anti-inflammatory activity was detected from the water phases in the supernatant and precipitated pellet of 50% methanol concentration among P. brevitarsis larva extracts, it was estimated that the active substances have a tendency of both strong and weak hydrophilicities.
