Comparative Study of Centrally Acting Skeletal Muscle Relaxant Activity of Aqueous Extract of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Bark with Methocarbamol on Albino Mice
Cinnamon bark is used as a spice. It is employed in cookery as a condiment and flavouring material. The essential oil of this herb is a potent antibacterial, anti-fungal, and uterine stimulant. It is useful in diarrhoea and haemorrhage of the womb. It also reduces blood sugar and cholesterol level. One of its uses is in musculoskeletal disorder. The aim of the study was to evaluate the centrall...
متن کاملScreening of Skeletal Muscle Relaxant Activity of Plant Vicia Faba
The study was designed to investigate the skeletal muscle relaxant activity of vicia faba (400mg/kg, p.o) by using rota rod apparatus. Experiments were carried out on albino mice and the animals were randomly allotted to the different control, test and standard (diazepam 4mg/kg, p.o) groups. The methanolic extract significantly reduced the fall off time (4.33sec) in comparision with the fall of...
متن کاملSpinal cord--skeletal muscle cocultures detect muscle-relaxant action of botulinum neurotoxin A.
The mouse LD50 assay is routinely used for potency testing of botulinum toxins. Unfortunately, this test is associated with severe pain and distress in animals and requires large quantities of mice. Here we used cocultures of spinal cord and muscle tissue as an alternative for probing botulinum toxins. Cocultures were prepared from mouse embryonic tissue (C57/BL6J) and cultured for 24-27 days. ...
