Antinociceptive effect of some extracts from Ajuga chamaecistus Ging. ssp. tomentella (Boiss.) Rech. f. aerial parts

Abstract: BackgroundThe genus Ajuga is used for the treatment of joint pain, gout, and jaundice in traditional Iranian medicine (TIM). Ajuga chamaecistus ssp. tomentella is an exclusive subspecies of Ajuga chamaecistus in the flora of Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate antinociceptive properties of some extracts from aerial parts of A. chamaecistus ssp. tomentella.MethodsAntinociceptive activities of total water and 80% methanol extracts, hexane, diethyl ether and n-butanolic partition fractions of the methanol… Show more

“…Hexane fraction at 200 mg/Kg body weight of mice (BWM) caused significant analgesic effects on the chronic phase (15–60 min after formalin injection). However, to obtain the same analgesic effects by aqueous and diethyl ether extracts, a dose of 400 mg/Kg BWM was required [ 25 ]. Besides these extracts, methanolic extract of A. bracteosa induced a strong in vivo anti-nociceptive effect in treated animals at a dose of 500 and 750 mg/Kg BWM in three different analgesic assays [ 26 ].…”

“…As demonstrated in the study by Khanavi et al (2014), the oral administration of different doses of methanolic and aqueous extracts and their fractions (200, 400, and 600 mg/kg) had analgesic effects in the chronic phase (15 -60 min after formalin injection) in mice. Besides, total water and diethyl ether extracts at a dose of 400 mg/kg presented a very significant analgesic action (2).…”

“…The genus Ajuga (Kamaphytus) is used traditionally for the management of jaundice, joint pain, gout (2,17,18), amenorrhea, sciatica, and wound-healing in traditional Persian medicine (19,20). It is also utilized as a carminative and diuretic agent (3,10,20,21).…”

“…The formalin test provides a moderate and continuous pain because of tissue injury in the animal, which is a better approach to clinical conditions than more traditional tests of nociception (Khanavi, Davoodipoor, Sadati, Shams Ardekani, & Sharifzadeh, 2014). Formalin-induced inflammation involves three distinct phases based on the release of different inflammatory mediators, namely serotonin and histamine in the first phase (0-2 h), kinins like bradykinin in second phase (3 h) and prostaglandins in the third phase (>4 h) (Viswanatha et al, 2011).…”
