THE LEVELS OF LETHAL DOSE AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECT OF CORIANDRUM SATIVUM L. ESSENTIAL OIL EXTRACT

Abstract

The levels of lethal dose of Coriandrum sativum L. (CS) essential oil was studied in mice and anti-inflammatory effect of CS essential oil was studied with carregeenan-induced hind-paw edeme model in rats. The study involved 5 groups; Serum physiologic, ethyl alcohol, indomethacin (3 mg/kg), CS (0.010 mL/kg), CS (0.020 mL/kg). After measuring the volumes of right hind-paws of rats using a plethysmometer, drugs were injected intraperitoneally and lambda-carrageenan were injected subcutaneously into the plantar region. Three hours after the injections the volume measurements of the right hind-paws were repeated and the difference between the volumes were compared. It was found that indom ethacin reduced the inflammation by 95.70 %, 0.05 mL/kg CS by 46.97 % and 0.10 mL/kg CS by 53.16 %. Both doses of the CS exctract used showed statistically significant anti-inflammatory effect compared to the control groups. The anti-inflammatory effect of both doses of CS was weaker than the effect of indomethacin. The median lethal dose (LD50) of the extract of CS was determinated as 2.257 mL/kg. As a result CS essential oil extract was shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect.
