  Se ensayó la actividad antiinflamatoria de extractos acuoso, etanólico y diclorometano preparados de hojas de Baccharis lanceolata, los extractos fueron administrados oral o tópicamente en ratas con edema plantar producida por carragenina o a ratones con edema auricular inducido por aceite de crotón, respectivamente. El efecto antiinflamatorio resultó ser dosis-dependiente, presentando el mayos antiedema el extracto diclorometano, con inhibición del 68% en ambos modelos.

  Watery, ethanolic and di-chloromethane extracts made of leafs of Baccharis lanceolata, were assayed by their possible anti-inflamatory activity. Extracts were given oral and topically to rats with plantar edema produced by carragenin or to rats with auricular edema induced by croton oil, respectively. This effect was dosis-dependent and the major effect anti-edema was the dichloromethane extract which produced 68% of inhibition in both patterns.
