Using of natural sources that have anti-inflammatory activity for the prevention and treatment of degenerative diseases began to be further explored. An investigation on the anti-inflammatory activity of the aqueous extract of guava leaves (Psidium guajava L.) from Sawangan, Depok on white male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain had been carried out on the carrageenan-induced paw edema method. To examine the effect of guava extract on subcutan at different doses of 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg of body weight (BW).  Indometacine at dose of 10 mg/kg BW was used as a positive control. Observations were made during five hours with an interval of one hour. These results demonstrate that the percentage of inflammation or edema (% E) optimal at the 4th hour and then decreased at the 5th hour, while the percentage of optimal inhibition occurred at the 5th hour. Guava extract at 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg BW reduced inhibitory percentage activities by 40.81, 55.45 and 43.61% (p< 0.05) respectively. In conclusion, this study suggests that guava extract has anti-inflammatory properties by decreasing edema level.Keywords: Anti-inflammatory, guava leaves, edema.

Inflammation is a local reaction in vascular tissue characterized by several symptoms, e.g.,  swelling, redness, and pain. Indonesia is one of the countries with high biodiversity, including traditional medicinal plants. Artocarpus altilis is one the plants that is widely used to treat inflammation. There is limited information on biological activity of A. altilis.This study was performed to evaluate anti-inflammatory properties  of A. altilis detached and attached leaves in Wistar male rats. A. altilis was extracted using soxhlet method at 67.4 0C with methanol solvent. Inflammation was induced by the administration of carrageenan to the rats paw. Subsequently, the extract of A. altilis were orally administered. The edema were measured using plethysmometer for 6 hours. We found that there were differences in anti-inflammatory activity between detached and attached leaves. The inhibition of edema in attached leaves were 50% and 53.33% for the concentration of 50 mg and 100 mg, respectively. The greater inhibiton was observed in the detached leaves, with 73.33% and 76.67% inhibition, for the concentration of 50 mg and 100 mg, respectively. Nevertheless, the inhibition percentage was still below diclofenac sodium as a positive control (83.33%).  In conclusion, A. altilis leaves extracts showed good anti-inflammatory properties and has the potential for development of anti-inflammatory drug.  Keywords: Artocarpus altilis, carageenan, inflammation, edema

<p><em><em>Bananas have many types and benefits. One of them is the Yellow Kepok Banana. Banana stem, leaf midrib, and corm contain phytochemicals compound as medicinal properties. The study aimed to determine the effect of the yellow kepok banana corm extract formula as an anti-inflammatory. Banana corm was cut into 0.3 x 1 x 3 cm pieces, dried in the oven with temperature 60 °C for 6 hours, then made 40 mesh powder. The powder extracted using 70 % ethanol by maceration technique for 24 hours, repeated three times. Anti-inflammatory testing was carried out on male </em>Sprague Dawley<em> white rats. A total of 24 white rats were divided into six treatment groups, consists of </em><em>different concentrations of the extract (10, 15, and 20 %), positive control (commercial ointment), negative control, and a normal control (giving a wound without being given any formula). The experiment was designed as a randomized complete, with four replications, data were analyzed using ANOVA and the </em>Post Hoc Games Howell Test<em>. The results showed that the yellow kepok banana extract formula had the potential for wound healing. The 20 % extract formula can accelerate wound healing in a day than the 10 and 15 % formulas. The  speed  is  shown  by  wound  healing  without  scars  from  the   20 %</em> <em>extract formula, which  occurs  earlier  than other formulas. The anti-inflammatory activity of the 20 % formula was comparable to the positive control of commercial ointment. The anti-inflammatory activity of the yellow kepok banana ointment formula is related to the compound of saponins, flavonoids, and tannins. The results indicate that the yellow kepok banana corm extract has the potential to be developed as an anti-inflammatory drug.</em><br /></em></p>

This study was designed to evaluate the chemical composition and anti-inflammatory activity of the common myrtle (Myrtus communisL.) essential oil. The composition ofMyrtus communisL. essential oil, extracted by steam distillation, was characterized by a high fraction (80.9%) of oxygenated monoterpenes. The major components were myrtenyl acetate (38.7%), eucalyptol (12.7%), α-pinene (13.7%), and linalool (7.00%). The chemical profile of this essential oil allows us to classify it as myrtényle acétate/α- pinène chemotype, but with atypical proportions, related to the harvesting area. In the carrageenan-induced paw edema, five different groups were established and the essential oil was administered orally in three different doses. The common myrtle essential oil (100 mg/kg) was able to reduce the paw edema, with a comparable effect to that observed with diclofenac (positive control). This is the first report to demonstrate a significant anti-inflammatory activity of Algerian common myrtle essential oil.

Temulawak or Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb, is usually used as traditional medicine (herbal medicine) that has antioxidant, anticancer, antihyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective and gastroprotective properties. The main components contained in temulawak responsible for its efficacy as a medicine are xantorhizol and curcuminoid. Curcuminoid has drawbacks, which are difficult to absorb and very quickly metabolized by the body, so that limit its bioavailability. The use of solid lipid nanoparticle carrier system (SLN) in form of palmitic acid, is known to improve the bioavailability of curcuminoid. This study aims to find the effective dose of nanocurcuminoid coated with palmitic acid that can be used as an anti-inflammatory agent. The methods used in this study, include the production of nanocurcuminoid with homogenization and ultrasonication methods, determination of particle size, polydispersity index, entrapment efficiency and anti-inflammatory activity test through rat feet edema. Nanocurcuminoid obtained in this study was 561.53 nm in size, with polydispersity index 0.309 and concentrations of curcuminoid absorbed and entrapment efficiency were 0.61±0.031 mg/mL, 58.93±3.021%, respectively. Anti-inflammatory activity of nanocurcuminoid through treated Sprague Dawley rats, showed that there were no significant difference compared with the positive control, curcuminoid extracts and empty nanoparticle. These results indicate that nanocurcuminoid with 175, 200 and 250 mg/kg.bw in doses, has greater anti-inflammatory activity (31.70%) compared to the other treatments.

One of the important treatment landscape widely used for the various disease’s management is phytotherapy, or treatment with herbal medicines. Phytotherapy is used as an independent type of treatment in most cases, and in combination with other drugs as additional treatment. The pain and inflammation control continue as long as there is humanity itself. With old experience of traditional medicine know that Salicaceae have a pronounced anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The pharmacological study of the dry extract from Sakhalin willow shoots – the study of analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities in different pharmacological models – was the aim of this work. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of the standardized dry extract from Sakhalin willow shoots (DESWS) was experimentally researched. The study of pharmacological activities of DESWS was carried out at the Educational and Scientific Institute of Applied Pharmacy of the National University of Pharmacy (Kharkov). The effect of DESWS on the course of the inflammatory process was studied in a model of carrageenan edema. Analgesic activity was studied in a model of thermal irritation in white male rats. The study of anti-inflammatory activity in rats on a model of carrageenan edema showed that an effective dose of the studied extract was 30 mg/kg. The greatest reduction in paw edema in rats on the model of carrageenan edema in the first hour of the experiment was observed in the group of animals treated with DESWS at a dose of 30 mg/kg. The anti-inflammatory activity of DESWS was 53.74%, but it was slightly inferior than in the reference drug Diclofenac. It was found that DESWS also shows pronounced analgesic properties at a dose of 30 mg/kg during the first and second hours of the experiment in the model of the limb’s thermal irritation «Hot Plate» in rats. After 120 minutes of experiment the studied activity didn’t change significantly and remained at the level 62.6%. The analgesic effect of DESWS was inferior to antinociceptive activity of the reference drug Metamizole sodium and superior to the studied activity of the reference drug Aspirin. Thus, the dry extract from the Sakhalin willow shoots can affect both pain and inflammation, and it is a potential remedy for further pharmacological research.
