Popis: Objective: To compare the anti-arthritic potential of orally administered auraptene (AUR) and umbellliprenin (UMB) in chronic inflammation by exploring the differential effect on regulating TNF-α and IL-17. Methods & materials: Sixty male rats were divided into ten groups, and after confirming chronic inflammation, the treatment groups received AUR or UMB orally for 9 days. On day 16, histopathological changes were evaluated. Altered serum levels of the inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-17 were examined as the underlying mechanisms. Results: Administering AUR orally at 16 mM/kg caused a significant increase in body weight gain compared to the baseline (p
