The anti-inflammatory effect of three plants of Cucurbitaceae family: Ecballium elaterium, Cucumis prophetarum and Luffa cylindrica were studied using their petroleum ether and alcohol extracts. The recorded LD50 due to i.p. administration of petroleum ether of E. elaterium and L. cylindrica and alcohol of C.prophetarum, as representative extracts, were 3.4, 0.45 and 1.5 g/kg b.wt., respectively. The carrageenan induced edema in rats was significantly reduced by pre-treatment with petroleum ether extract of E. elaterium, C.prophetarum herbs and Luffa cylindrica fruits after 2h, while alcohol extract of E. elaterium herb caused a maximum inhibition of edema which amounted to 76.9% in comparison with the other extracts.

Badano działanie przeciwzapalne trzech roślin z rodziny Cucurbitaceae: Ecballium elaterium, Cucumis prophetarum i Luffa cylindrica, stosując wyciąg alkoholowy i wyciąg uzyskany za pomocą eteru naftowego. Odnotowane wartości LD50 jako wynik podawania wyciągu otrzymanego z użyciem eteru naftowego z E. elaterium and L. cylindrica i wyciągu alkoholowego z C.prophetarum wynosiły odpowiednio 3,4, 0,45 i 1,5 g/kg m.c. Obrzęk łapy wywołany u szczurów przez karageninę wyraźnie zmniejszył się po 2 godzinach dzięki wcześniejszemu zastosowaniu wyciągów otrzymywanych przez ekstrakcję za pomocą eteru naftowego z ziela E. elaterium, ziela C.prophetarum i owoców Luffa cylindrica, natomiast wyciąg alkoholowy z ziela E. elaterium spowodował maksymalne zahamowanie obrzęku, nawet do 76,9% w porównaniu z innymi wyciągami.
