Abstract
The croton oil-induced mice ear oedema test was used to study the topi cal antiinflammatory effects of petroleum ether and chloroform extract s of Khaya senegalensis stern barks, It was found that these fractions exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory effects. The chloroform extract a ctivity was closely related to that of indomethacin used as standard, was more active than the petroleum ether extract and played a pivotal role in the topical antiinflammatory effect of Khaya senegalensis stem barks, (C) 1998 John Wiley SL Sons, Ltd.
