Abstract
Biochanin-A (5,7 dihydroxy-4'-methoxy isoflavone) isolated from the fl owers of Dalbergia sissoides have been tested for its antiinflammatory activity in Carrageenin induced rat hind paw edema. It showed 35.85% inhibition of inflammation in comparison with ketorolac tromethamine ( 54.92%).
