Abstract
The anti-inflammatory activity of 14 commercial ethanol extracts of propoli s were evaluated, using a mouse ear inflammation model induced by arachidon ic acid. Indometacin was also assayed as standard anti-inflammatory agent. Different activities were observed and discussed. This model could be used to assess the anti-inflammatory quality of propolis extracts and facilitate their posological usage on skin edema resulting from wounds.
