Journal Title: International Journal of Unani and Integrative Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In this study, Sonneratia caseolaris was evaluated for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and thrombolytic activities using different systems assay. The anti-inflammatory activity, the % of inhibition of paw edema of crude methanol extract showed the highest activity in leaf (58.24% inhibition) at 100 µg/ml, in bark (40.80% inhibition) at 200 µg/ml. The analgesic activity, the effect of each extractive at two different concentration (100 & 200 µg/ml) on the response of mice was measured. The most potent activity was also found in crude methanolic fraction (CME) showed in leaf highest % of inhibition (25.93 at 100 µg/ml) and in bark highest % of inhibition (33.33 at 100 µg/ml) after standard (Diclofenac-Na). Hence, it is worthwhile to isolate and elucidate the bioactive principles that are responsible for the better activity that is underway.
