Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and gastroprotective activity of Filipendula ulmaria (L.) Maxim. and Filipendula vulgaris Moench
Abstract
Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) is used in folk medicine for antirheumatic, antipyretic and anti-ulcer properties. Lyophilised flower infusions and isolated flavonoids (spiraeoside) and the tannin tellimagrandin II showed antioxidant (DPPH, FRAP) and anti-inflammatory activity (inhibition of eicosanoid biosynthesis in human platelets), and the infusions preserved gastric mucosal integrity in an ethanol-induced gastric injury model in rats, supporting the traditional use.
