   • According to -Antonio MA (1998)

     Excerpt Anti-inflammatory studies were conducted on rats or mice using a crude hydroalcoholic extract of the aerial parts of T ulmifolia and its partitioned fractions, i.e., the aqueous, ethyl acetate and ethanolic fractions. In contrast to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the administration of the hydroalcoholic extract or the ethanolic fraction alone did not potentiate gastric mucosal lesions induced by Aspirin.
