Abstract
|
|
|
|
In folklore medicine Drymaria cordata Willd (Family-Caryophyllaceae) is reported to have laxative and anti-febrile properties along with anti-inflammatory activities. Sikkimis used this plant to treat all these ailments. The anti-inflammatory effect of the methanol extract of D. cordata was investigated against carrageenin, histamine, serotonin, dextran and PGE₁ induced rat hind paw oedema. It exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity against all these phlogestic agents except PGE₁ in the order of carrageenin $gt; serotonin $gt; histamine. All these effects were compared with standard drug phenylbutazone in both the acute and chronic experimental models in albino rats.
