ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF ETHANOL EXTRACTS OF LEAF AND BARK OF NARINGI CRENULATA (ROXB.) NICOLSON

摘要

Ethanol extracts of Naringi crenulata leaf and bark were evaluated for its anti-inflammatory activity at the dose levels of 250mg kg-1and 500mg kg-1body weight using a Carrageenan induced paw oedema method (acute inflammation). Results showed that both leaf and bark ethanol extracts had potent and significant anti-inflammatory activity. These results were also comparable with reference drug indomethacin used in this study
