Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Activities of <i>Nothospondias staudtii</i>

Abstract: Summary:The aqueous (AENS), methanolic (MENS) and chloroform (CENS) extracts of the leaves of Nothospondias staudtii Engl (Anacardianceae) were screened for analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities in mice and rats. Pain responses were studied in mice using the tail immersion and acetic acid induced writing while carrageenan induced paw oedema was used to access anti-inflammatory activity. The three extracts exhibited significant analgesic compared with the control (saline, 10ml/kg) as evidenced by (i) incre… Show more

“…This was repeated every thirty minutes for 2 hours. The reaction time was taken as the time for the rats to remove their tail from the hot water in the water bath (Owoleye et al, 2004). The % inhibition in both cases was calculated using the following formula:…”

“…The time period in which tail flicked out from water bath was recorded. The observations were made for 180 min at every 30 min interval (Owoyele et al, 2004). The reaction time was determined at 30, 60, 90, 120,150 and 180 min after treatment.…”

“…(Junping, 2005) After the determination of baseline response latencies, hot-plate latencies were re-determined at 30min, 60min, and 90min after oral administration of tested drugs and positive-control in this experiment. The pain inhibition percentage was calculated (Wu et al, 2003;Owoyele, 2004) according to the following formula. % of (PIP) = Latency (test) -Latency (control) ×100)/Latency (control).…”
