title: Local anti-inflammatory activity of Tamus communis.
abstract: The effects of an ethanol root extract of Tamus communis were documented on cotton pellet granuloma in rats. The inhibitory effect of the solvent-free extract (5-20 mg/pellet) on granuloma formation was comparable to that of reference drugs benzydamine HCl (5-20 mg/pellet) and hydrocortisone (5 mg/pellet). The local anti-inflammatory activity of T. communis was not accompanied by a decrease in body weight.
