Pharmacological Study of Anti-inflammatory Activity of Aqueous Extracts of Mikania glomerata (Spreng.) and Mikania laevigata (Sch. Bip. ex Baker)

ConclusionThe variation of the results of the anti-inflammatory activity found in M. glomerata and M. laevigata demonstrates that these two species should not be used interchangeably. Coumarin, as already proven, has anti-inflammatory action however, we have suggested that it probably is not the only component responsible for this therapeutic effect in the extracts.Graphical abstract
