Abstract

According to the pharmacological effect, Aloe vera has been reported to have various therapeutic properties, specifically to promote
wound, burn and frost-bite healing, in addition to have anti-inflammatory, antifungal, hypoglycemic and gastro protective
properties. In spite of all the advantages of this plant, its use is mainly limited to topical forms, giving no importance to other
therapeutic uses. However, no studies have been undertaken with regard to the antispasmodic activity of the leafy exudates.
Accordingly, the aim of this study is in vitro to demonstrate for the first time the Papaverine like effect of Aloe vera on isolated
rabbit ileum. This effect is due to the potential of using the whole leaf or inner fillet gel liquid preparation.

Keywords: Aloe vera, Anti-inflammatory, Antispasmodic, Papaverine, Rabbit ileum.
