Description

1. INTRODUCTION Escin, the major active principle from Aesculus hippocastanum (Hippocastanaceae), the horse chestnut tree, possesses diverse biochemical and pharmacological actions. It has been reported that escin has anti-oedematous, anti-inflammatory, and venotonic effects [1], and which currently has wide clinical use. Accumulated experimental evidence also suggests that escin exerts antioedematous and anti-inflammatory effects. Escin has been shown to be effective in preventing the formation of oedema in models of inflammation that reproduce the initial exudative phase, such as oedema induced in the paw by a series of irritative agents [2]. Additionally, escin shows a significant inhibition not only of the increase of capillary permeability induced by acetic acid, but also of the adhesion formation in animal model [3].
