Table 3. Maximum percentage of inhibition of J. gossypiifolia against local effects produced by B. jararaca.

Activity	Dose, route	Inhibition (%)
Hemorrhagic	100 mg/kg, p.o.	56.1
Edematogenic*	200 mg/kg, i.p.	99.9
Myotoxic	50 mg/kg, i.p.	96.5

Percentage of inhibition was calculated as: [1 – (%activity of test mean –%activity of PBS control mean) ÷ (%activity of Bja control mean –%activity of PBS control mean)] ×100. *In the case of edematogenic activity, the last time point (120 min) of the paw thickness was considered.
