Olea europaea L. is used in traditional medicine in the Mediterranean areas. Its natural products are used in the treatment of different disorders, like fighting fever and some infectious diseases such as malaria, the treatment of arrhythmia, and relief of intestinal spasms. The aim of the current study is to investigate the possible anti-inflammatory and anatinociceptive effects of methanol and chloroformic extracts prepared from leaves of Olea europaea L. The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of the different extracts of Olea europaea leaves were assessed after intraperitoneal administration into rats and mice, using the carrageenan-induced paw edema model in rats to test the anti-inflammatory effect and the acetic acid-induced writhing in mice to test the analgesic effect. The chloroformic and methanolic leaves extracts, studied at the doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg (Body Weight: BW), exhibited significant dose-dependent anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that Olea europaea leaves extracts have anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects.

This study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of the polyphenolic extract of olive leaves Olea europaea L. In vivo experiments were performed on the model of acute inflammation edema of the paw of male Wistar rats following inflammation induced by the injection of carrageenan. The anti-inflammatory effect is carried out by the injection of the polyphenolic extracts of olive leaves Olea europaea L. at different doses 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg, the injection was carried out 30 min before induction of acute inflammation with carrageenan at 1%. The results obtained were compared with those of Diclofenac and those of the physiological control. Injection of carrageenan resulted in a significant increase in the claw leg volume of 46.24 ± 23.8%, 66.78 ± 29.69% and 90.31 ± 46.51%, respectively at 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h. The results showed that the inflammatory activity of the polyphenolic extracts of olive leaves was dose dependent. The 150 mg/kg Olea europaea L. extract of polyphenolic has an anti-inflammatory activity which results in an 88% decrease in edema. This decrease is significantly similar to that of Diclofenac® 97% confirmed that the polyphenolic extracts of Olea europaea L. leaves have anti-inflammatory activities comparable to that of Diclofenac® with a non-significant difference (p < 0.05), this anti-inflammatory effect remains lower than that of Diclofenac®.

Inflammatory Effect

Esculentoside A (EsA) is a saponin isolated from the roots of Phytolacca esculenta. Previous experiments showed that it had strong anti-inflammatory effects. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is an important inflammatory mediator. In order to study the mechanism of the anti-inflammatory effect of EsA, it was determined whether TNF production from macrophages was altered by EsA under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated conditions. EsA was found to decrease both extracellular and cell associated TNF production in a dose dependent manner at concentrations higher than 1 μmol/l EsA. Previous studies have showed that EsA reduced the releasing of platelet activating factor (PAF) from rat macrophages. The reducing effects of EsA on the release of TNF and PAF may explain its anti-inflammatory effect.

Inflammatory Effect

The cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-related inflammatory response involves leucocyte activation and increased leucocyte-endothelial cell interaction. L-selectin is an adhesion molecule expressed on the surface of leucocytes which participates in the initial rolling step of the leucocyte-endothelial cell adhesion cascade. L-selectin is proteolytically cleaved off the surface of leucocytes when they become activated, an event that is regarded as a marker of leucocyte activation. Aprotinin is a protease inhibitor that has been used in cardiac surgery as a haemostatic agent and also exhibits certain anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, peripheral venous blood from volunteers was pre-incubated with aprotinin at 200, 800 and 1600 kallikrein inhibiting units (kiu)/ml and stimulated with the chemoattractants N-formyl-methyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) or platelet activating factor (PAF). Surface expression of L-selectin on neutrophils was measured using a monoclonal antibody and flow cytometry. The results demonstrate that aprotinin inhibits shedding of L-selectin in a dose-dependent fashion ( p=0.0278 and 0.0005, respectively, at 800 and 1600 kiu/ml for fMLP-stimulated shedding; p=0.0017 and 0.0010, respectively, at 200 and 800 kiu/ml for PAF-stimulated shedding). This effect may be of significance with respect to the anti-inflammatory action of aprotinin in patients undergoing CPB.

Abstract The genus Galphimia is widely distributed in Mexico, and is represented by 22 species, including medicinal species. The sedative and anti-inflammatory effects of galphimines produced by the species Galphimia glauca have been documented. Formerly, molecular studies using DNA barcodes demonstrated that nine populations botanically classified as Galphimia glauca belong to four different species of the genus Galphimia, and that only one exhibited the sedative properties; however, all the collected species showed anti-inflammatory activity. Other bioactive compounds like quercetin, galphins, galphimidins and glaucacetalins have been identified from methanolic extracts of plants botanically classified as Galphimia glauca. The aim of this work was to determine the anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic extracts of nine collected Galphimia spp. populations grown in Mexico. The possible modes of action were analyzed by evaluating the inhibition of LPS-induced inflammation processes both in vitro and in vivo. The nine populations were evaluated by an in vitro model using RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells, and two populations (a galphimine-producing and a non-galphimine-producing population) were selected for the in vivo experiments of systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation in mice. Results suggest that an anti-inflammatory in vitro effect was present in all the studied populations, evidenced by the inhibition of nitrite production. An inhibitory systemic inflammation in mice was exerted by the two analyzed populations. In the neuroinflammation model, the anti-inflammatory effect was demonstrated in methanolic extract of the non-galphimine-producing population. For the populations of Galphimia spp. studied herein, the anti-inflammatory effect could not be correlated to the presence of galphimines.

Several studies have investigated the antinociceptive, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of compounds found in the lavender essential oil (LEO), however to date, there is still lack of substantial data. The objective of this study was to assess the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of lavender essential oil. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical decolorization assay was used for antioxidant activity evaluation. The anti-inflammatory activity was tested using two models of acute inflammation: carrageenan-induced pleurisy and croton oil-induced ear edema. The antinociceptive activity was tested using the pain model induced by formalin. LEO has antioxidant activity, which is dose-dependent response. The inflammatory response evoked by carrageenan and by croton oil was reduced through the pre-treatment of animals with LEO. In the pleurisy model, the drug used as positive control, dexamethasone, was more efficacious. However, in the ear swelling, the antiedematogenic effect of the oil was similar to that observed for dexamethasone. In the formalin test, LEO consistently inhibited spontaneous nociception and presented a similar effect to that of tramadol. The results of this study reveal (in vivo) the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of LEO and demonstrates its important therapeutic potential.

Inflammatory Effect

Varthemia iphionoides is a Jordanian medicinal plant with several health-promoting properties, including antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer activities. However, its anti-inflammatory properties have been poorly investigated up to date. The current study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of V. iphionoides by measuring the production of interleukin-6 in response to a pro-inflammatory stimulus (bacterial lipopolysaccharide) in in vitro cell models of human MRC-5 and PC3 cells. We observed a significant reduction in lipopolysaccharide-induced interleukin-6 release in response to V. iphionoides (125 µg/mL) in both non-cancerous fibroblast MRC-5 and prostate cancerous PC3 cells. However, the anti-inflammatory effect of this medicinal plant was stronger when MRC-5 cells were treated with an aqueous extract, while the methanolic extract was more potent in PC3 cells. The effect of V. iphionoides in reducing interleukin-6 production was not due to its cytotoxicity, and future studies are required to elucidate the mechanisms of action by which this medicinal plant modulates inflammatory responses. In conclusion, the results of our study represent the first report of the potential protective effect of water and methanolic extracts of V. iphionoides against pro-inflammatory stimuli in fibroblasts and cancer cells of human origin, and it is critically important to identify the phytochemical compounds responsible for this effect.
