title: [Anti-inflammatory effect of hydroxy-9-ellipticine].
abstract: The anti-inflammatory activity of 9-hydroxy-ellipticine is studied through various experimental models. It is particularly interesting in the guinea-pig cutaneous erythema, in the carragenin-induced oedema and in the adjuvant-induced polyarthritis in the rat. It appears in immune or non-immune induced inflammatory responses. Its important thymolytic activity can be related to its immunosuppressive effect.
