Table 2.

Maximum percentage of inhibition of J. mollissima against local effects produced by Bothrops erythromelas and B. jararaca venoms. Percentage of inhibition was calculated as [1 – (% activity of test mean – % activity of PBS control mean)/(% activity of Ber or Bja control mean – % activity of PBS control mean)] × 100.

	Activity	Dose	Inhibition (%)
Bothrops erythromelas	Edematogenic∗	50 mg/kg	46.41
	Inflammatory	100 mg/kg	81.81
	Myotoxic	200 mg/kg	81.70
Bothrops jararaca	Hemorrhagic	200 mg/kg	44.00
	Edematogenic∗	200 mg/kg	25.19
	Inflammatory	200 mg/kg	80.18
	Myotoxic	100 mg/kg	72.73

^∗The edematogenic activity was calculated using the area under the curve.
