| Abstract: | Carrageenin paw oedema and croton oil ear oedema induced simultaneously in rats are inhibited in a dose-dependent manner and to statistically significant degrees by lipoxygenase- and cyclooxygenase-blocker flavonoids (diosmin, fisetin, quercetin, myricetin, galangin, sophoricoside, hesperidin-methylchalcone, oligomeric procyanidin, anthocyanidins (delphinidin, pelargonidin], and the prostaglandin antagonist polyphloretin phosphate and di-4-phloretin phosphate. Outstanding anti-inflammatory effects are displayed by myricetin and delphinidin, which contain vicinal hydroxy groups in ring B. The results confirm the importance of hydroxy group substitution in ring B. The most effective of the examined substances proved to be the prostaglandin antagonist di-4-phloretin phosphate. |
