Ferruginol has displayed an interesting range of biological activities such as in vitro anti-inflammatory activity. Aim of this research is to evaluate the dermal anti-inflammatory activity of ferruginol, using in vivo models at first time. Ferruginol was subjected to topical assays for the inhibition of inflammation elicited by AA （arachidonic acid） or TPA （phorbol ester） in the murine model. The topical anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated in vivo using groups of 8 animals were treated with a single dose of ferruginol, equimolar doses with regard to the reference drugs, indomethacin and nimesulide. We showed a chemical data were consistent with a type-abietane diterpenoid known as ferruginol. Ferruginol showed topical anti-inflammatory activity at 21.0% and 20.5% in AA and TPA models, respectively. Our results provide data to support further investigations about ferruginol, a type-abietane diterpenoid, as a potential anti-inflammatory agent.展开更多
