Evaluation of anti-arthritic activity of Caesalpinia pulcherrima in freund’s complete adjuvant induced arthritic rat model

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the anti-arthritic activity of ethanolic extract of Caesalpinia pulcherrima (ECP) in adjuvant arthritic (AA) rat model induced by Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). Methods: Thirty healthy albino rats were selected and randomly divided into five groups. Arthritis was induced by Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) and then treated with ethanolic extract of Caesalpinia pulcherrima for 28 days. The various parameters like paw volume, haematological parameters (RBC, WBC, Hb and ESR), and radi… Show more

“…Another mechanism includes phagocytes and leukocytes, which form a complex with other inflammatory mediators and start the secretion of lysosomal enzymes, ultimately inducing the cartilage injury (Bartold et al, 2010). During the initiation phase, CFA demonstrated the impact on the soft tissue and produced swelling near the ankle joints and indicated the expansion of arthritis, which was measured as an edema of specific tissues (Rajaram et al, 2015).…”

“…Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder usually affecting the symmetrical bilateral joints. 1 Uncontrolled RA characterized by progressive damages of synovial, cartilage, and bone is associated, probably, with extra-articular signs. 2 , 3 RA may possibly progress to severe disability with direct negative impacts on life style and increase in mortality rate.…”

“…This inhibition might be due to prevention of production of cytokine such as TNF-α and interleukin-1B by the phytoconstituents present in the extract. [11][12][13][14][15]…”
