title: [Anti-inflammatory activity of the bark of Khaya senegalensis (A Juss). Preliminary research of structure/activity relationship].
abstract: Some anti-inflammatory tests based on the carrageenan induced oedema rat paw method have been carried out with a freeze-dried aqueous extract and an etheropetrolic extract of Cailcedrat (Khaya senegalensis) barks. Then, a preliminary chemical study to find a relation structure/activity has been done from the etheropetrolic extract, by using various chromatography technicals. The achieved results have shown a decrease of the oedema by 14% when the aqueous extract is used at 1 g.kg-1, 21.5% and 62% with the etheropetrolic extract used at the respecive doses of 0.5 g.kg-1 and 1 g.kg-1. As for the chemical study, it allowed the separation of two compounds which probably take part in noticed activity and are supposed to be methyl angolensate and methyl hydroxyangolensate.
