Oral administration of Phoradendron bathyoryctum Eichler ameliorate acute experimental pain and inflammation in mice

The aim of this work was to determine the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of Phoradendron bathyoryctum. Oral doses of 30 and 300 mg/kg of Pb denoted statistically significant dose-dependent analgesic effect using the Randall-Selitto test and the abdominal contortions model. In addition, with doses of 30 mg/kg of Pb, a statistically significant reduction of edema induced by 1% carrageenan was evidenced, demonstrating anti-inflammatory activity.
