Four doses of AELS (3−300 mg/kg) were administered, by oral route (p.o.), to female Swiss mice in the carrageenan pleurisy test. The dose of 100 mg/kg was tested in Swiss mice in two models: carrageenan, complete adjuvant Freunds (CFA) and zymosan inflammatory models. The AELS extract was assayed using the methylthiazolidiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test to verify the leukocyte viability, and this showed no cytotoxicity in vitro.
