Abstract
As an attempt to search for bioactive natural products exerting antiinflammatory activity, we have evaluated the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of the methanol extract from the Fomes fomentarius (MEFF). MEFF (50, 100 mg/kg/day, p.o.) significantly reduced an acute paw edema induced by carrageenan in rats. When analgesic activity was measured by acetic acid-induced writhing test and hot plate test, MEFF showed a dose-dependent inhibition in animal models. In addition, MEFF potently inhibited the LPS-induced production of NO,
