Abstract
Plants have been the main source of molecules for the treatment of diseases over the years. They have been used in traditional medicine based on experience and practice. Many molecules from plant latex have been isolated, identified and tested for pharmacological activities, including reduction of inflammation. This review provides an overview of the latexes released from different plant species and their anti-inflammatory properties. Different in vivo and in vivo assays have been performed trying to confirm this pharmacological potential. Many studies suggest that latexes from plants have therapeutic potential to treat inflammatory diseases and support their traditional medicinal use.
Keywords: Inflammation, latex, medicinal plant, paw edema, Plumeria pudica, protein.
