摘　　要：BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases(IBD)are a worldwide health problem and mainly affect young people,consequently affecting the workforce.Available treatments are often associated with side effects,and new therapeutic options are needed.For centuries,plants have represented important substrates in the field of drug development.Lafoensia pacari(L.pacari)is a plant whose pharmaceutical potential has been described,and may have biological activity relevant to the treatment of IBD symptoms.AIM To investigate the activity of keto-alcoholic extracts of L.pacari with respect to ameliorating the inflammatory and nociceptive symptoms of acute experimental colitis in mice.METHODS Keto-alcoholic extracts of L.pacari leaves and bark were administered to male andfemale Swiss mice weighing 25 g to 30 g(n=8 male mice and n=8 female mice).The effect of these extracts was observed in an acetic acid-induced acute experimental model of colitis with regard to antinociception/analgesia and inflammatory tissue damage.Recorded macroscopic indices included the Wallace score and the colon weight obtained using a precision scale.Mechanical hyperalgesia was determined using an electronic analgesimeter.Behavior related to overt pain was determined by quantifying the number of writhing instances within 20 min of administration of acetic acid.Molecular docking was performed using human and murine cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)with 3 flavonoids(ellagic acid,kaempferol,and quercetin)on the AutoDock Vina software.Analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s posttest was used with P<0.05 indicating significance.RESULTS In this murine model of colitis,administration of extracts from L.pacari ameliorated acetic acidinduced writhing and colitis-associated inflammatory pain.These improvements may be attributable to the reduction in edema,inflammation(e.g.,ulcers,hyperemia,and bowel wall damage),and the intensity of abdominal hyperalgesia.The keto-alcoholic extracts of L.pacari leaves and bark administered at a dose of either 100 mg/kg or 300 mg/kg signifi
