ANTIPHLOGISTIC ACTIVITY OF IPRONIAZID

Abstract
Iproniazid was found to inhibit formalin-induced oedema of the foot, dextran-induced oedema and cotton-pellet-induced granulomatous tissue in the rat. The presence of the adrenals was essential for the antiphlogistic activity. The antiphlogistic action was not accompanied by any antipyretic effect. Inhibition of formalin-induced oedema was also observed with phenylbutazone and with salicylamide.
