<i>Syzygium aromaticum</i> aqueous extract inhibits human neutrophils myeloperoxidase and protects mice from LPS-induced lung inflammation

Abstract

Our results suggest that the anti-inflammatory activity of SAAE, in vivo, is due to the inhibition of ROS production and metalloproteinases activity via its action on MPO. According to these findings, SAAE could be a potential source of new compounds with anti-inflammatory activity.
