چکیده
Psidium guajava L is commonly known as guava in English. The present investigation focuses on the toothache activity. The investigation is based upon the analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial activity of water extract of Psidium guajava L. The study assessed the different solvent extracts of Psidium guajava leaf for thin layer chromatography (TLC) and also evaluated the analgesic activity by Hot plate and acetic acid induced writhing, anti-inflammatory action by Invitro HRBC membrane stabilization method and antimicrobial activity by Disc diffusion method, Agar well diffusion method and Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in animal model. The present preliminary study demonstrated marked toothache activity of Psidium guajava leaf. These results support the notion that plant flavonoids and extracts may have many roles as pharmaceuticals. S.

Crataeva tapia Linn. ssp. odora (Jacob.) Almeida, a traditional medicinal plant, which is valued for its benefits in the management of urinary and inflammatory disorders. Leaves are externally rubefacient and used in rheumatism; internally they are given as febrifuge and tonic. The leaves also act as anti-periodic. The current study was therefore carried out to provide requisite pharmacognostic...
متن کاملAntimicrobial effects of psidium guajava extract as one mechanism of its antidiarrhoeal action.
A morphine-like spasmolytic action (not naloxone reversible; involving the inhibition of acetylcholine release) and also effects on the transmural transport of electrolytes (Na(+) and K(+)) and water have been reported as possible modes of the antidiarrhoeal action of polar fractions of Psidium guajava leaf extractives. The objective for this study was to verify if the reported modes of the ant...
