PARRA-DELGADO, Hortensia; GARCIA RUIZ, Gabriela; NIETO CAMACHO, Antonio  y  MARTINEZ-VAZQUEZ, Mariano. Anti-inflammatory Activity of Some Extracts and Isolates from Leonotis nepetaefolia on TPA-induced Edema Model. Rev. Soc. Quím. Méx [online]. 2004, vol.48, n.4, pp.293-295. ISSN 0583-7693.

Several extracts of aerial parts of Leonotis nepetaefolia showed anti-inflammatory activity on TPA-induced edema model. The chromatography of the extracts led to the isolation of stigmasterol and leonotinin. Although the presence of leonotinin is in agreement with previous phytochemical studies of this species, this is the first time that its anti-inflammatory activity is determined.

Palabras llave : Leonotis nepetaefolia; leonotinin; stigmasterol; diterpenes; labdanes; anti-inflammatory activity.
