Abstract
|
|
|
|
The methanol extract of Asparagus racemosus root was evaluated for its anti-inflammatory activity on carrageenin and serotonin-induced rat hind paw oedema models. The extract (200 and 400 ㎎/㎏) showed maximum inhibition of oedema of 18.6% and 33.7% at 3 h with carrageenin and 22.2% and 40.5% at 5 h with serotonin-induced rat paw oedema respectively. The experimental models tested, where the effect produced by the extract was compared to that of phenylbutazone, a prototype non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
