Pharmacological studies of the plant Anadenanthera colubrina Brenam has shown that the ethanolic extract of its bark has an important anti-inflammatory effect, demonstrated by its ability to inhibit neutrophil migration in a dose-dependent manner and decreased vascular permeability. These results provide experimental evidence for the efficacy of traditional use of A. macrocarpa in treating various diseases associated with inflammation and pain (Rodrigues et al. 2014, Xavier et al. 2018).

Another plant used in folk medicine is Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan (‘angico’) and its pharmacological potential was evaluated in vivo. The aqueous extract of the bark at 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg reduced the peritonitis caused by carrageenan. This plant contains flavonoids, saponins, catechins, phenols, steroids, tannins and terpenoids. Some flavonoids, tannins and saponins can inhibit enzymes or mediators involved in the inflammation pathway (Santos et al. 2013).
