This extract when administered by intra peritoneal injection at a concentration of 50 mg/kg produced almost 100% inhibition of the carrageenan-induced paw edema 1 hour after administration. The inhibition was maintained at about 60%, 7 hours after administration. These findings suggest that the alkaloid extracts of the leaves of Mitragyna speciosa possess potent anti-inflammatory properties. Repository Staff Only: item control page
