  • Title: Antiinflammatory property of the leaves of Gongronema latifolium.
    Author: Morebise O, Fafunso MA, Makinde JM, Olajide OA, Awe EO.
    Journal: Phytother Res; 2002 Mar; 16 Suppl 1():S75-7. PubMed ID: 11933146.
    Abstract:
    An aqueous extract of the dried leaves of Gongronema latifolium was studied for its antiinflammatory activity. The extract significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema, carrageen-induced leucocyte migration in rats and dye leakage induced by intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid in mice. These results demonstrate the antiinflammatory property of G. latifolium.
