Anti-inflammatory action of an alkaloid, fraction and extract from Alchornea glandulosa in mice

ConclusionsTo the best of our knowledge, these results are the first to demonstrate that A. glandulosa exhibits oral and topical anti-inflammatory activity. This study detected alkaloid and phenol/polyphenolic compounds in A. glandulosa, which may help to explain the ethnobotanical use of this plant in traditional medicine in Brazil to treat immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.Graphical abstract
