| Abstract: | Several extracts and fractions from Cedronella canariensis (L.) have been submitted to analgesic, antipyretic and antiinflammatory tests on rats and mice. The experimental results obtained justified the utilization of this species as an anticatarrh and antiinfluenza agent in Canarian folk medicine. Its acute toxicity turned out to be low as measured in mice. |
