Anti-inflammatory action of p-methoxycinnamic acid

p-Methoxycinnamic acid의 소염작용

Anti-infalmmatory action of p-methoxycinnamic acid (p-MCA) was investigated. p-MCA showed a significant decrease in carrageenin and acetic acid induced edema of the rat hind paw, and increased capillary permeability by anaphylaxis and chemical mediators of pontamine sky blue in the mouse peritoneal cavity. It, however, showed only weak inhibitory effect on cotton pellet-induced granuloma formation of the rat.
