Anti-inflammatory Effect of Chloroform Extract of Flaveria Trinervia (sprengel) C. Mohr -a Medicinal Herb
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present study of chloroform extract of leaves of Flaveria trinervia (Sprengel) C.Mohr. (Asteraceae) obtained by soxhlet extraction method was tested for antiinflammatory activity by carrageenan induced paw edema in rats. The chloroform extract in dose of 250mg /kg b.w was administered orally.Antiinflammatory activity effect was compared with standard drug – Indomethacin (10mg/kg b.w) showed 31% and 51% inhibition of paw edema, in extract and standard respectively. These observations help us to conclude that chloroform extract has showed good antiinflammatory activity against carrageenan induced paw edema.

C(4) photosynthesis presents a sophisticated integration of two complementary cell types, mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. It relies on the differential expression of the genes encoding the component enzymes and transporters of this pathway. The entry enzyme of C(4) photosynthesis, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), is found exclusively in mesophyll cells, and the expression of the corre...
