In vitro anti-inflammatory activity of the Artemisia montana leaf ethanol extract in macrophage RAW 264.7 cells

Artemisia is one of the largest genera of the family Asteraceae or Compositae, consisting of 500 species. Some Artemisia species, such as Artemisia afra, A. sacrorum, and A. annua, have been widely used as traditional medicine to treat inflammatory and malarial diseases. However, the biological acti...
