Ocimum gratissimum L. has attracted substantial consideration from researchers because of its anti-inflammatory uses in ethnomedicine in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. This study investigated the effect of flavonoid-rich ethylacetate fraction of O. gratissimum (EAFOg) in apoptosis induction of activated macrophages and inflammatory response in LPS-induced air pouch in rats. Apoptotic effect of EAFOg in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells was evaluated using flow cytometry after staining with annexin-V and 7-aminoactinomycin D. Its effects on inflammatory cells and mediators were investigated utilizing 6 day old subcutaneous air pouch-rats. Sterile saline (0.9%) or LPS (100 ng/mL) was injected into the air pouch on 6th day after EAFOg (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg) pretreatment. Rectal body temperature was recorded hourly for 5 h after LPS injection. Thereafter, the neutrophil count, nitrite, TNF-α, PGE2, nitrite, malondialdehyde and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were determined in the pouch lavage. The activities of myeloperoxidase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) as well as immunohistochemical staining for cyclooxygenase-2 were also performed. EAFOg (10, 30 and 100 μg/mL) induced apoptosis in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. The EAFOg reduced hyperthermia and decreased neutrophil counts, TNF-α, PGE2, nitrite, myeloperoxidase as well as cyclooxygenase-2 expression evoked by LPS in rats. It also reduced malondialdehyde, and increased GSH and SOD levels in LPS-induced air pouch in vivo. The results of this study suggest that the EAFOg
