03/01/1981 - "Castor oil alone produced some macroscopic alterations in the form of slight erythema and edema, and microscopic changes consisting of acanthosis, disorganization of the basal layer and slight infiltration of the dermis."
09/01/2012 - "In the present study, acetic acid-induced writhing, xylene-induced ear edema and castor oil-induced diarrheal model were used to evaluate the analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal activities, respectively. "
02/01/2002 - "Among the compounds studied, compounds 2c, 2d, 2e and 2h showed most remarkable antiinflammatory activity in the carrageenan and serotonin induced edema and in the inhibition of castor oil-induced diarrhea tests. "
06/03/2005 - "The extract at given doses significantly and dose dependently reduced the frequency of acetic acid induced writhing in mice, prolonged the tail flicking latency in mice, reduced Carrageenan-induced paw edema volume in rat, delayed the onset as well as reduced the frequency of castor oil induced diarrhoeal episodes in mice, decreased gastrointestinal motility as assessed by the charcoal motility test in mice and prolonged pentobarbitone induced sleeping time in mice. "
04/04/2007 - "Vitalboside showed a potent and dose-dependent (in 75 and 150 mg/kg does, per os) in vivo anti-inflammatory activity against acute (carrageenan-, serotonin- and PGE(2)-induced hind paw edema model, castor oil-induced diarrhea), subacute (subcutaneous air-pouch) and chronic (Freund's complete adjuvant-induced arthritis) models of inflammation.
