[The effect of apamine on the inflammatory process]

The authors examined the effect of apamine on rats, rabbits and guinea pigs with experimental inflammation. Apamine inhibited serotonine and dextrane oedema on the hind paw of a rat as well as the excudative reaction in inflammation, induced by Croton oil. Apamine manifested antiserotomine effect on an isolated ileum of a guinea pig. It inhibited the increase of haptoglobulin and mucoprotein in serum of animals with experimental inflammation.
