Antiinflammatory activities of heat-treated Cassia alata leaf extract and kaempferol 3-O-gentiobioside (K3G) isolated from C. alata as an abundant flavonoid glycoside were studied by comparing their activities with the activities of sun-dried C. alata leaf extract. We observed strong inhibitory effects on Concanavalin A-induced histamine release from rat peritoneal exudate cells both in the ext...
