| Abstract
| - The galactolipid (2S)-1,2-di-O-[(9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoyl]-3-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl glycerol(1) isolated from dried and milled fruits of Rosa canina by bioassay-guided fractionation is anantiinflammatory agent with inhibitory effects on chemotaxis of human peripheral blood neutrophils invitro. The inhibition of cell migration is not related to toxicity. The presence of 1 in rose hips may explainthe clinically observed antiinflammatory properties of rose hip herbal remedies.
