Chemical Composition

The oral administration (0.1-1g/kg) of the lyophilized Sedum dendroideum juice (L J) caused a significant dose-related reduction of acetic acid-induced writhing response (ID(50)=631 mg/kg) and inhibited croton oil-induced ear oedema formation (66% inhibition at 1g/kg) in mice. In the formalin-induced nociception in mice, L J (1g/kg) only inhibited the second phase of nociception (46%). Phytochemical investigation revealed four known kaempferol glycosides, here, described at the first time for this species[1]
