and anti-inflammatory activity of and β-caryophyllene oxide in carrageenan-induced paw edema in Wistar rats.

This study is aimed to evaluate the impact of methanolic extract of and isolated plant compound, β-Caryophyllene oxide against carrageenan-induced paw edema in rat model and its therapeutic potential compared with reference drug, Indometacin. Methanolic extract of was characterized using FTIR, LC-MS, NMR spectral studies. Paw edema was induced by sub-plantar injection of 100 µl of 1% carrageenan.
