title: Warangalone, the isoflavonoid anti-inflammatory principle of Erythrina addisoniae stem bark.
abstract: The prenylisoflavone warangalone has been isolated from the bark of Erythrina addisoniae. This compound, previously recognized as a powerful inhibitor of protein kinase A, showed marked effectiveness as an anti-inflammatory on the phospholipase A(2)-induced paw edema and on the 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate-induced ear edema in mice, after systemic and local administration, respectively.
