(Asteraceae) were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity on carrageenin-induced paw edema (acute model) and cotton pellet-induced granuloma (chronic model) in rats. In carrageenin-induced paw edema, EEAA and SEAA at intraperitoneal doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg dose-dependently inhibited the paw edema. In cotton pelletinduced granuloma, the oral administration of EEAA and SEAA at 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg dosages was also found to signifi cantly inhibit granuloma tissue formation. © TÜBİTAK.en10.3906/biy-1006-15info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAnthemis aciphyllaAnti-inflammatory activityCarrageeninCotton pelletPaw edemaArticle356757762Q2
