Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study is to evaluate the anti-inflamatory activity of the extracts of A. wiedemanniana by using in vivo methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Carrageenan-, PGE2- and serotonin-induced hind paw edema, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-13-acetate (TPA)-induced mouse ear edema and acetic acid-induced increase in capillary permeability models were used for the anti-inflammatory activity assessment. Moreover, the fatty acid composition of A. wiedemanniana was investigated by gas chromatography (GC). RESULTS: CONCLUSION: This study confirms the traditional usage of A. wiedemanniana for inflammatory diseases.
