The anti-inflammatory effects of Glyteer (GL) were investigated by its local administration using the CMC-pouch method in rats, and the effects were compared with those of betamethasone 17-valerate (BV, 1 mg), phenylbutazone (PB, 10 mg), flufenamic acid (FA, 10 mg), bufexamac (BM, 10 and 20 mg), bendazac (BZ, 10 and 20 mg), icthammol (IT, 10 mg) and pine tar (PT, 10 mg). At three hours after CMC-treatment, GL (10 mg) significantly inhibited not only the protein exudation, but also the leucocyte migration. The inhibitory activity of GL on the leucocyte migration had the same potency as that of FA, but was stronger than those of PB, BV, BM, BZ, IT and PT. Furthermore, in relation to the leucocyte migration, GL markedly inhibited not only the neutrophil, but also the macrophage migration. At three hours after CMC-treatment, the inhibitory activity of GL on the neutrophil migration had the same potency as those of PB and FA, but was stronger than those of BV, BM, BZ, IT and PT. On the other hand, GL, BM, BZ, FA, IT and PT had an inhibitory activity on the macrophage migration, and the activity was more potent in GL, FA and IT. From these results, it is suggested that the inhibition of GL on increased vascular permeability and leucocyte migration is one of the mechanisms of its anti-inflammatory action.
