Anti-inflammatory activity of Aegle

Anti-inflammatory activity of Aegle

Both methanolic and aqueous extract of Aegle marmelos seeds showed good anti-inflammatory activity against the acute inflammation (carrageenan induced rat paw edema) and chronic inflammation (cotton pellet induced granuloma) in animal models, at both the doses (i.e. 200 mg/kg b.w. and 400 mg/kg b.w.), although the better anti-inflammatory activity of methanol extract than the aqueous extract mightbe due to the presence of higher concentration of flavonoid contents
