eupatorium rosmarinifolium/edema

Eupatorium lindleyanum has traditionally been used as folk medicine in Asian countries for its therapeutic effects on tracheitis and tonsillitis. Investigation of the anti-inflammatory active constituents from E. lindleyanum led to the isolation of two novel sesquiterpene lactones, named

Anti-inflammatory activity was detected in the CH(2)Cl(2) extract of the aerial parts of Eupatorium buniifolium using the TPA-mouse ear model. Three compounds isolated from this extract, by bioassay-guided fractionation, significantly inhibited the inflammatory response. The compounds were

Three anti-inflammatory compounds: nepetin, jaceosidin and hispidulin have been isolated and identified from Eupatorium arnottianum Griseb. dichloromethane extract. Nepetin reduced the TPA mouse ear edema by 46.9% and jaceosidin by 23.2% (1mg/ear). Both compounds inhibited the NF kappaB induction by
