Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The Moringa plant, found in tropical and subtropical countries, provides a rich and rare combination of zeatin, quercetin, kaempferom and many other phytochemicals. It is very important for its medicinal value. Various parts of the plant such as the leaves, roots, seed, bark, fruit, flowers and immature pods act as cardiac and circulatory stimulants, possess antitumour (Makonnen et al, 1997), antipyretic, antiepileptic, anti-inflammatory and antiulcer (Pal et al, 1995). In this study, the antiinflammatory and antinociceptive activity of the 50% ethanolic extract of the Moringa oleifera leaf in animals is described.
