Abstract
The methanolic leaf extract of Delonix elata, were analyzed for anti-inflammatory activity in collagen induced mice. The inflammation was induced by injecting collagen (50 µg/body weight). Group (Group III) of animals were treated with 60 µg per body weight of crude methanolic extract. Mean paw volume and biochemical parameters (SGOT, SGPT and ALP) were analyzed. The levels of SGOT, SGPT and ALP were significantly low in the crude extract of methanolic leaf extract of Delonix Elata treated animals than the untreated animals.
