Antiulcerogenic and anti-inflammatory activities of the essential oil from <i>Pterodon emarginatus</i> seeds

Abstract

The results demonstrated the marked antiulcerogenic and anti-inflammatory effects of the essential oil from P. emarginatus, which are, at least in part, a consequence of NO and IL-1 modulation. P. emarginatus or its constituents might represent new therapeutic options to treat gastric ulcers and inflammatory diseases.
