A novel Pentamethoxy Flavonol 'Cordiofolinol' (P3) has been isolated from anti-inflammatory activity guided fractionation of methanol extract of Haldina cordifolia stem Bark with a gradient of methanol in chloroform. Further P3 was screened for anti-inflammatory activity on carrageenan and dextran induced inflammation model in rats at the dose level of 50 mg/kg body weight. Treatment of inflammed rats with P3 has showed significant reduction in inflammation caused by carrageenan (P0.01) and dextran (P0.05). Hence P3 can be considered as the principle component responsable for the...

A triterpenoidal compound (P2) has been isolated from anti-inflammatory activity guided fractionation of acetone extract of Drypetes roxburghii leaf with a gradient of methanol in chlroform. Further P2 was screened for anti-inflammatory activity on carageenan and dextran induced inflammation models in rats at the dose level of 50 mg/kg body weight. Treatment of inflammed rats with P2 has showed significant reduction in inflammation caused by carrageenan (P0.01) and dextran (P0.05). Hence P2 can be considered as the active component responsible for the anti-inflammatory activity of Drypetes...
