plant, were isolated by column chromatography. Their preliminary analgesic effects were
evaluated against formalin-induced pain in mice. The results demonstrated that four
biflavonoids, identified as volkensiflavone, GB-2 a, fukugetin and fukugeside are the main
active components of the ethyl acetate fraction. Such compounds exhibited significative
analgesic activity in relation to the second phase (inflammatory pain) of the formalin test …
