In the present study, we investigated the fact that clotrimazole (CLT) inhibits intestinal inflammation, and the inhibitory action is mediated through suppression of IL-8 expression."

"In the trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid ( TNBS)-inducedr at colitis model, CLT dose-dependently protected from the TNBS-induced weight loss, colon ulceration, and…
