Different components of Cornus officinalis have different effects on the immune system. The decoction can reduce the phagocytic function of the reticuloendothelial system, inhibit the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction caused by SRBC or DNCB (2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene), and inhibit the activation of T lymphocytes. Total glucosides of Cornus officinalis and ursolic acid can significantly inhibit the proliferation and transformation of T lymphocytes, inhibit the generation of LAK cells (lymphokine-activated killer cells) and the production of interleukin-2, and have a significant antagonistic effect on the rejection reaction caused by organ transplantation.

It can reduce the vitamin C content in the adrenal glands of rats and alleviate adrenal cell damage. This suggests that its anti-inflammatory mechanism is related to enhancing pituitary-adrenal cortex function and has no obvious inhibitory effect on PGE synthesis and release.
