Elaeocarpus sphaericus fruits were extracted vide different

solvents. The extract fraction were examined for antiinflammatory

effects, against specific imflammogens. The study conducted in rats

reveals further information on relative dominance of anti-

inflammatory activity against specific inflammogens in varying

fractions. The inferences indicate the persence of plural active

principles with specific effects on select mechanisms involved

inphenomena of inflammation, providing adequate therapeutic

prospects.
