Abstract
The chloroform extract of nutmeg has been evaluated for antiinflammatory, a
nalgesic and antithrombotic activities in rodents. The extract inhibited th
e carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema, produced a reduction in writhings ind
uced by acetic acid in mice and offered protection against thrombosis induc
ed by ADP/adrenaline mixture in mice. Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons,
