| Summary: | In the current review article, the studies conducted to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of Aquilaria species are compiled and summarized. Since inflammation is the underlying cause of many diseases, the encounter of effective and safe biomedical anti-inflammatory compounds has become the focus of recent researches. Aquilaria species were known to
possess a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities, among which anti-inflammatory activity has been reported in many
in vitro and in vivo studies. Chromones, sesquiterpenoids, flavonoids, benzophenones and phorbol esters were the major
anti-inflammatory compounds isolated from Aquilaria species. The objective of this review paper is to extend researches on
the anti-inflammatory activity of different parts of Aquilaria species and support their future use in natural pharmaceutical
preparations for the treatment of inflammation-associated conditions. |
