Considering that this monoterpene presents important biological properties and great therapeutic potential, it was evaluated its antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities, in mice, using classical models of nociception (acetic acid-induced writhing, hot-plate test and paw licking induced by formalin, glutamate and capsaicin) and inflammation (paw edema induced by different agents, carrageenan-induced peritonitis, myeloperoxidase levels and cytokine measurement). Here, MPO is linked to peritonitis.
