Popis: The pharmacological effect of the dichloromethanol extract of Inula crithmoides L. was analysed in in vitro and in vivo models. The extract dose-dependently decreased arterial blood pressure and furthermore it showed low acute toxicity, CNS depressor activity and analgesic and antiinflammatory effects. Preincubation of the guinea-pig ileum and rat duodenum (100 μg/mL) produced a significant reduction in the contractile effects of histamine and acetylcholine and a concentration-related inhibition of the effects of serotonin. Following further fractionation the methylene chloride/acetone (50/50) fraction caused a significant decrease in motor activity and significantly reduced the threshold of pain chemical stimulus.
