Interestingly the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effect of whole BV can be reproduced by two water-soluble fractions of BV 20 kDa BvAF1 and 10 kDa BVAF3 . Based on these scientific findings BV and its effective water-soluble fractions have been proposed as potential anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive pharmaceuticals. While BV s anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive properties have been well documented there have been no careful studies of potential side effects of BV and its fractions when administered in the therapeutic range BV 5 gg kg BVAF1 gg kg BVAF3 3 gg kg subcutaneous or intradermal . Such information is critical for future clinical use of BV in humans. Because of this paucity of information the present study was designed to determine the general pharmacological physiological effects of BV and its fractions administration on the rodent central nervous cardiovascular respiratory and gastrointestinal .
