Anti-inflammatory activity of acetophenones from Ophryosporus axilliflorus

Planta Med. 1998 Oct;64(7):657-9. doi: 10.1055/s-2006-957543.

Abstract

Seven acetophenone derivatives were isolated from the aerial parts of Ophryosporus axilliflorus (Griseb.) Hieron. These compounds were subjected to the carrageenan-induced mouse paw edema test where tremetone (7) showed extremely anti-inflammatory activity. Furthermore, the non-benzofuran acetophenones 5 and 6, showed a significant response.
