Antioxidant, Antibacterial, Cytotoxic, and Anti-Inflammatory Potential of the Leaves of Solanum lycocarpum A. St. Hil. (Solanaceae)

Figure 2

Anti-inflammatory effect of hydroethanol (HE) and ethyl acetate (Ac) fractions from S. lycocarpum versus time after inflammatory stimulus on carrageenan-induced paw edema. Paw edema was measured with plethysmometer; results expressed as paw edema in μL (mean ± SEM); treatments: HE and Ac fractions from S. lycocarpum (75 and 150 mg/kg), vehicle (Veh. 5% DMSO), or indomethacin (Ind. 10 mg/kg) thirty minutes before intraplantar carrageenan injection (400 μg/paw). animals/group. ANOVA, Bonferroni’s Multiple Comparison Test; and in comparison to control group (vehicle).
