The present study was undertaken to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of aqueous, methanolic, ethyl acetate and hydroalcoholic extracts of Cassia auriculata leaves. The study was carried out using the pharmacological model of carrageenan induced rat paw edema. Among all extracts methanolic extract showed maximum anti-inflammatory potential. Indomethacin (10mg/kg) was used as referencec ompound in the present study. The anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic extract may be due to presence alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and steroids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
