Anti-inflammatory Activity of Mimosa pudica Linn. (Mimosaceae) Leaves : An Ethnpharmacological study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic extract of Mimosa pudica leaves was investigated at the doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg using carrageenan induced paw edema and cotton pellete granuloma technique in albino rats. The extracts showed significant activity in dose dependent manner as compared to control group. The observations suggested that the extract of M. pudica leaves were effective in exudative and proliferative phases of inflammation i.e. in acute and chronic inflammation. The results obtained indicate that M. pudica has an anti-inflammatory activity that supports the folk medicinal use of the plant.
