Licochalcone A was isolated from the roots of Glycyrrhiza inflata and evaluated for its anti-inflammatory activity in xylene-induced mice ear edema and carrageenan-induced paw edema tests. At the same time, the inhibition of prostaglandin biosynthesis by licochalcone A was also studied in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse macrophage cells. At 5 mg/ ear, licochalcone A showed remarkable eff...

Methanolic extract of Heteropogon contortus (L.) Beauv was screened for Bronchorelaxation (in vitro anti-histaminic) and in vivo anti-inflammatory effects. Bronchorelaxation effect was evaluated in terms of inhibition of histamine and acetylcholine induced contraction in guinea pig tracheal chain. Anti-inflammatory effect was assessed using carrageenan and egg albumin induced inflammation in ra...

In the present study, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of a new alkaloid (5′-Hydroxymethyl-1′-(1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-pyrrolo [2,1-b] quinazolin-1-yl)-heptan-1-one) (compound 1), isolated from Sida cordifolia Linn. was investigated in animal models. The analgesic activity was investigated in the acetic acid induced writhing and the radiant heat tail flick model in mice a...

The present study was designed to assess the cytotoxicity, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of methanol extract of Woodfordia fruticosa flowers. Cytotoxic activity of methanol extract of Woodfordia fruticosa flowers was tested using Artemia salina (Brine shrimp) bioassay. Two doses (400 and 600 mg/Kg) were evaluated for the anti-inflammatory activity against the carrageenan, histamine...

To study the anti-inflammatory activity of a hydro-ethanolic extract of Alternathera brasiliana leaves (HEAB).The study was carried out using Wistar albino rats (150-180 gm) and Swiss albino mice (20-25 gm) of either sex. HEAB was prepared by cold maceration. The effect of HEAB was investigated for anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan induced paw edema (acute), cotton pellet granuloma (...

BACKGROUND Laghupanchamula denotes combinations of roots of five herbs. However, in Ayurvedic classics besides four common herbs viz. Kantakari, Brihati, Shaliparni, and Prinshniparni, the fifth one is either Gokshura (Laghupanchamula with Gokshura LPG) or Eranda (Laghupanchamula with Eranda LPE), and both formulations have been documented to have shothahara (anti-inflammatory) action. OBJECT...

Background: The aim of present study is to evaluate the anti-inflmmatory activity Chlorella vulgaris in acute and chronic experimental inflammatory model. Plant extract was analyzed for photochemical screening different phytoconstituents. Methods: Paw edema induced with 1.5% carrageenan all groups except normal. Diclofenac used as a standard drug at 50, 100, 200 mg/kg dose study. Carrageenan ad...

OBJECTIVE Recently, we observed wound healing activity of 50% ethanol extract of Mallotus philippinensis Muell. Arg (MP) fruit hairs extract (MPE). In several intestinal infections, localized inflammation is of common occurrence and hence we evaluated the anti-inflammatory, analgesic and hypnotic activity of MPE in different rat experimental models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anti-inflammatory act...
