Assessment of antinociceptive,anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of Cymbopogon winterianus leaf essential oil

The present study investigated the antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of the leaf essential oil (LEO) of Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt (Poaceae). In the acetic acid-induced writhing and formalin tests, the LEO (50, 100, and 200?mg/kg, p.o.) significantly reduced (p?50 (12.66?±?0.56 μg/mL). Our present results demonstrated that the LEO has antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
