Anti-inflammatory Activity of a Flavonol Glycoside from Tephrosia Spinosa

  • Published : 2005.06.01

Abstract

A rare flavonol glycoside identified as $eupalitin-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ (I) was isolated from Tephrosia spinosa (Leguminosae) and its anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated against carrageenin induced paw edema. The compound exhibited significant activity when compared to the standard drug indomethacin.
