Abstract

Eleven Malaysian medicinal plant species were examined for their anti-inflammatory activities using the tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA)-induced ear oedema test. This technique is frequently used to assess the topical anti-oedematous effect of natural products. Leaf extracts of Lantana camara Eupatorium odoratum and Melastoma malabathricum were found to exhibit strong inhibition (more than 90 percent) in the TPA model at a dose of 2 mg per ear.
