[Studies on the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect of bornyl acetate in volatile oil from Amomum villosum].
OBJECTIVE
To study analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of bornyl acetate, the main ingredient of Amomum villosum volatile oil.


METHODS
The analgesic effects were tested by hot-plate and writhing reaction method, the ear swelling caused by dimethylbenzene in mice.


RESULTS
Bornyl acetate could restrain writhing reaction caused by acetic acid glacial, lighten the pain caused by hot-plate. It could also suppress ear swelling caused by dimethylbenzene in mice.


CONCLUSIONS
Bornyl acetate shows analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
