✦ Synopsis

The croton oil-induced mice ear oedema test was used to study the topical antiinflammatory effects of petroleum ether and chloroform extracts of Khaya senegalensis stem barks. It was found that these fractions exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory effects. The chloroform extract activity was closely related to that of indomethacin used as standard, was more active than the petroleum ether extract and played a pivotal role in the topical antiinflammatory effect of Khaya senegalensis stem barks.
