Clinical evidence
Methanol extract of leaves (MECEL) at 200 mg/kg significantly inhibited edema in carrageenan-induced rat models (38.34%) and histamine/serotonin-induced sub-acute models (52.54%) [PMID:19703538].
Oral administration of MECEL at 100 and 200 mg/kg b.w. showed a dose-dependent significant reduction of both normal and yeast-provoked elevated rectal temperature in albino rats, comparable to paracetamol [PMID:21206616].
MECEL was evaluated for antibacterial activity against five Gram (-) and three Gram (+) bacterial strains, as well as antimycotic activity against four fungi [PMID:21206616].
