Anti-inflammatory activity and chemical composition of Pycnocycla bashagardiana fruit’s essential oil in animal models

摘要

Objective(s):Pycnocycla bashagardiana is an endemic species found only in Iran. Due to the presence of myristicin as the major component of the fruit’s oil we were prompted to assess the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of P. bashagardiana fruit’s essential oil (PBFEO).
