A study on analgesic activity of an essential oil of sintoc (Cinnamomum sintoc BL.) bark was conducted on male mice using the writhing method with acetic acid 0.7% as a pain induction. The extract was given orally at doses of 0.02 mL/20 g, 0.01 mL/20 g and 0.05 mL/20 g of body weight. The result showed that each dose reduced writhing of mice significantly as compared with the control. The three doses gave protection percentage of 56.1%, 50.3% and 18.8% respectively. Their analgesic effectiveness percentage was 93.3%, 83.7% and 31.3% respectively, compared with aspirin. This study concluded that essential oil of sintoc barks had analgesic activity.
