Anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects of Desf.

The work presented here was aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory and hemostatic activities of extract and to establish the relationship between its bioactivity and chemical composition. Twenty-three secondary metabolites were identified, most of them are good anti-inflammatory agents, in line with data by carrageenin-induced rat paw edema assays of the -butanol extract showing high anti-inflammatory inhibition (63.90%) of edema swelling in the rat paw at the dose 200 mg/kg after 4 h.
